Time lapse of our new crew sailing the Corinth Canal
This time-lapse was filmed in 2016, when our crew sailed the Bavaria 50 Carina Star through the Corinth Canal on a delivery from Turkey to Lefkas.
The canal is just over six kilometres long and about 25 metres wide at sea level. Since it was completed in 1893 it has linked the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf, and yachts go through in one direction at a time once the canal authorities have cleared them.
On our Corinth Canal & Saronic Gulf flotilla you sail through the canal every week. To find out what the passage feels like from the helm, read Corinth Canal sailing: what it’s really like.
