Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Imagine yourself, at the helm of the largest three-masted barque or helping to set more than 2000m2 of sail in less than one hour! You need no sailing experience beforehand; professional seamen will train you while you are aboard.

The «Statsraad Lehmkuhl» is not a passenger ship. You come aboard as a trainee sailor, which means that you participate in the activities of the ship. You’ll be on duty alongside professional seamen – doing anything from being on watch or steering the ship, to working in the galley. The maritime traditions are kept active, especially the sail manoeuvres. For many people, going aloft up the rigging to furl or unfurl sails is one of the most exiting things on board. But this is absolutely voluntary. And there might be time for some shanty singing and a course in tying knots.

You are quartered below decks, in hammocks, just like they did generations ago.

You will meet different people from different countries and with different backgrounds. The strange thing is that, when being out at sea, the companionship is all that matters. The atmosphere on board is indescribable; it has to be experienced!
