Exploring Lake Superior on a 17-foot Sailboat

In July 2021, we set off to explore Lake Superior’s Apostle Islands, to date our most ambitious journey aboard Sundance, a 17-foot trailerable sailboat. This hour-long documentary depicts the intricacy and benefits of using a small craft to explore coastal waters. The northernmost of the five Great Lakes, Lake Superior is also the world’s largest lake by surface area with a shoreline that stretches 2,726 miles. Although it is feared for its capricious weather and known for its many shipwrecks, the lake provides some of the most beautiful and lightly traveled sailing grounds in North America.
