A short sailing trip at the end of the season, for both experienced sailing enthusiasts and those who want to become one! During this trip, the Albert Johannes will participate with you in the popular Tiessen-Race. This regatta for traditional sailing ships takes place on the Baltic Sea from Kiel. The final destination of the regatta depends on the weather and will only be announced on arrival. Sometimes it is beautiful Kappeln on the Schlei, sometimes Marstal on the Danish island of Ærø, or Sønderborg…. Let yourself be surprised!
On Friday evening, you board the boat in Kiel. Over a snack and a beer, the strategy for the regatta is discussed. Saturday morning around 11 am the race starts. In the evening, the prizes will be awarded and we will end the day with a nice party night to celebrate the winners. On Sunday, we sail back to Kiel, arriving in the afternoon.
During the trip, guests have the opportunity to actively help with all the activities on a traditional sailing ship – from hoisting the sails to performing manoeuvres and even lending a hand in the galley. This way, you quickly feel connected to the ship, the crew and the other sailors. Sailing experience is not necessary.
Meals are provided collectively on board. The crew of the Albert Johannes provides breakfast, lunch and a hot evening meal daily. Guests are asked to take turns helping with the cooking (such as cutting vegetables, washing up, setting the table and so on). This always works very well in practice and is also an excellent way to get to know each other better.
