Fast and magnificent!
Only 71 years old, this super tuned Tall Ship is the youngest of all Nordic Tall Ships, but not lacking in speed. This sturdy & fast windjammer has won several races, is two times winner at the Tall Ships` Races 2005 and became first in 2006 during the legendary 50th Anniversary Tall Ships` Race from Torbay to Lisbon. This year the passionate 25- man crew will make an all-out effort to claim gold again and you can be a part of this team!
Accommodation
There is a comfortable lower deck, divided into two rooms, that can hold up to 80 people. This is where you sleep, eat, relax and follow theory classes on skills such as making knots. You can choose for `fitted` bunks against the wall or for super relaxed hammocks to experience the ultimate nautical feel.

History
After having finished the construction of the windjammer Christian Radich in 1937, the vessel was brought into use as a trainee ship and remained exactly that until 1998, with only the Second World War as interruption. During this period it was also successful as a race ship and won several prices in the different races. Special detail: until 1983 women weren`t allowed to sail the ship! Since 1999 the Christian Radich is a passionate competitor at many sailing events.
