Zeilschip - Morgenster

Zeilschip Morgenster

The inauguration of the sailing ship Morgenster was in May 2008. The ship is sailing in Northern European waters. Taking up to 36 trainees (24 in cabins, 12 in hammocks), the ship is especially designed for sail training and is participating in the annual tall ships races organized by Sail Training International.

During the major maritime events the ship is available for corporate day and evening sail with up to 90 passengers.

The Morgenster is a brig, a two masted sailing ship, which is fully square rigged. Her beautiful rigging is based on the American clippers from the eighteenth century. The heavy British warships were helpless against the maneuverable and fast clippers from America. Sailing such a rigging means great pleasure for the trainees and great entertainment for the passengers while watching the crew handling the ship.

Beside the general operating area in Northern Europe during the summer seasons the Morgenster is also available in winter periods for long term cruises worldwide in warm regions.
