The sauna is such an important part of the sailing and boating experience in Finland, that I decided to do a small series of videos to help you enjoy the sauna when you come over.
The first video is a slightly engineering/nerdish take on the sauna, what it is and a little bit of sauna development history. Enjoy!

That was a wonderful video! I’m researching sauna construction so I can properly build one. This was my second video on the subject. And was absolutely perfect for helping me understand the concept and process behind this amazing piece of Finnish heritage. ❤🇫🇮

Really enjoyed this video, focus on the facts (no unnecessary music or moving emojis). Heading to Helsinki in summer, hopefully can find a traditional Finnish sauna in July.

Thanks for the nice words. If you come to Helsinki without a boat, may I recommend that you visit Kuusijärvi in Vantaa, they have perhaps the best saunaexperience in the capital region with a real savusauna + "regular" ones. Just Google Kuusijärvi for more info.

I have tried a savu sauna and I have to say that no other sauna is as good. Skin felt very soft and clean after sitting in the sauna where small flakes of white coal was snowing down after putting water on the stones. If you ever get a chance to try it then definitely do!

Thanks my man that was a great explanation and you did not even break a sweat in that sauna. 🥵. Never new about the "savusauna ", quite a fire risk hey, in the wrong hands?

Thanks, if you want to see sweat, check out the second video in the series 😅. And indeed, the savusaunas are known to burn quite often, that is why they typically are placed a bit away from other buildings.

Good information here. Is there any particular wood that works best for the sauna?
@SailInFinland
@SailInFinland 8 ай бұрын
In general birch, pine and fir are considered "quality" wood. Personally I think that any wood that is chopped (ie not small branches, sticks etc) and well dried after felling will work very well. If the wood feels very light and "papery" then it has probably been outside rotting for too long and will not work very well.

Good luck with the project! Having the sauna as a separate building has many benefits so sound good!

What time of day do people sauna? Has it changed historically?
@SailInFinland

Hi, really good question. I don't have absolute facts, but a few observations. Traditionally, because the emphasis has been on cleaning, people have enjoyed the sauna when back from (dirty) work. There is a rather rowdy Finnish song describing a workers Saturday (this when we still had a 6-day working week) "viideltä saunaan ja kuudelta putkaan" meaning "going to sauna at 5 pm and being arrested - for drunken behavior 🙂- at 6pm." Also for instance in our block of flats, there is a communal sauna that you can book and there are times available Thursday thru Saturday 6pm - 10pm if I remember correctly. But ofcourse this is just part of the story. An other important sauna tradition are saunas connected with various festivities such as "christmas-sauna", "midsummer-sauna" etc. These would have been more mid day events, so that you then had time for the actual party/festivity afterwards. And if you will tour the marinas (or Finnish hotels), you will find perhaps a more modern concept, that of "morning-sauna" (aamusauna in Finnish) which could be perhaps 8am - 10am:ish. Overall this still get's back to my main tenet in the video: the sauna is about enjoying oneself, so whatever floats you (sauna)boat, that's what you should do.
