description
With its 5,600 inhabitants, Sisimiut is the second largest town in Greenland. It is probably the last place where one can hope to find what they are desperately searching for. The town is also one of the few places in Greenland where it is possible to haul out your boat for winter storage, although this operation remains an adventure in itself.
The harbor offers good protection. It is possible to moor alongside a fishing boat tied up at the quay located on the port side when entering the harbor. Another option is to use the small quay of the slipway, located at the end of the harbor on the right. Since this quay is narrow, it is recommended to check with the shipyard regarding the planned movements of the slipway.
About 500 meters north of the harbor, in the northwest corner of the bay, there is a good anchorage with depths ranging from 4 to 8 meters on a muddy bottom.

Want to know how the wind score works? Then you should read this explanation.
The wind forecasts come from yr.no (Norwegian Meteorological Institute), and was last updated 50 minutes ago (Monday 22 June 04:13 AM).

The safe wind directions for this harbour has been decided by an algorithm, based on how elevated the land around the harbour is. It's mostly correct, but sometimes the underlying data about elevation levels is not good enough to make correct decisions. It's a great help to other if you can validate or adjust the safe wind directions. You can see the data used by the algorithm to decide the safe wind directions by clicking here.
