description
Sandbank north of Brattholmen, so keep a safe distance. We got a good anchor hold and nose in, and saw others on the swing who held well. Also saw others who tried to swing and didn't get a hold. To the best of our judgment, sandy bottom and somewhat loose, so good length/chain and a good/large anchor are needed here.
We have sailed all of the southwest and northwest of the bay and updated the marking of bolts on the chart. Approximately half of these are also suitable for sailboats.

description
Approach and maritime conditions: Ålesøya is situated well out in the archipelago approximately 3 nm NE of Lillesand. Beautiful lagoon with an entrance from the SW. Be aware of two shoals in the approach, and keep toward Åkesøya. These are marked on the nautical chart.
The surrounding islands are low and therefore do not provide much shelter in strong winds, but there are no waves in the lagoon.
Anchoring: Many possibilities to moor bow-to-land. Swing room at 7-8 m depth in the lagoon.
