The Sea Satllion is fully equipped with modern navigation systems and the question of how the viking found their way a thousand years ago, is not part of the research plan.

Even so, the question of viking navigation is interesting and must be on the minds of everyone involved with viking sailing. 

Lena Lisdotter Börjesson, specialied in viking navigation, has written a comment on the Sea Stallions sail. Lena Lisdotter Börjesson is teaching low-tech navigation on Fosen Folkehöigskole in Norway and she has sailed more than 2000 nautical miles using the viking navigation methods.
