Traditional and spectacular.
Captain Andy Manser ensures a good atmosphere and plenty of action aboard this traditional rigged topsail schooner that has two impressive yard sails above the first schooner sail. The vessel is quick, manoeuvrable and you sail close to the water surface. This makes sailing with the Jacob Meindert a spectacular experience and gives a dynamic feel to the ship. This year the vessel will participate again in the Tall Ships` Race. You can be part of the team!
Accommodation
The interior is cosy and comfortable. The dayroom is spacious with nice lounge couches and tables and offers enough room to relax. The galley is well equipped and guarantees a good share of healthy meals. A maximum of 27 people can spend the night at this ship that accommodates nine cabins and a few communal showers.

History
The Jacob Meindert started off as a tugboat based in Willemshafen. After several wanderings it was rebuild into a top sail schooner. Definitely a good choice, as the combination of a splendid hull with a clever rigging makes the Jacob Meindert an excellent sailing ship. For many years now, it sails the Baltic Sea and surroundings and also participates in sail events like the Kieler Woche and Sail Amsterdam. The Jacob Meindert also entered the Tall Ships` Race and Tiessen Race and won several times.
