Madness or skilled? Opinions are raging on social media about the skipper aboard Delta’s flagship as he cruises at high speed between the grains.
Trond Arne Sandmo from Norway posted this week the post that made boat owners in Norway brag about the skipper’s madness. With a Delta 88 Carbon, he drives almost completely without margin between the grains in an extremely tight passage where there is a maximum speed of 5 knots.
Absolutely sure it will slam
In an article in the Norwegian Båtmagasinet, Trond Arne Sandmo describes: “I saw it in the fjord, and thought that this was a special boat, so I took out my mobile phone and started filming. It came closer without slowing down and to cope with the shallows you have to make an S-turn in the narrow passage – but he drove straight ahead “
“Either he is an extremely good skipper or it was just luck. I was absolutely sure that it would explode and it was just luck that they managed the maneuver without anyone getting hurt “describes Trond Arne Sandmo in the article and estimates that Delta’s flagship ran at about 15 knots in the narrow passage.

Delta Yacht’s largest model
Delta 88 Carbon is Delta Yacht’s largest model by far. It is almost 26 meters long and weighs over 45 tons. With three Volvo Penta IPS 1350s, she has a top speed of 38 knots.
The owner of the boat called “Big Beaver” is now wanted in Norway. The boat magazine found her in Farsund. At the same time, her AIS data say that she is in France, more specifically Cannes.
We will have reason to follow this in the future.
