Sailing across the IJssel Lake, Wadden Sea & seven seas
Schooner Zephyr
Zephyr | 26 pers. (55 day) | Channel islands/Baltic Sea/Holland
The beautiful two-masted schooner 'Zephyr' has a cosy, light, luxury saloon, finished with three large tables. The galley is equipped with all conveniences, including a beer tap. This perfectly maintained ship is a sportive and safe sailing vessel with a manageable rigging system. The 'Zephyr' has an enthusiastic crew. The skippers Jan, Ingo and Bert will sail with you from Harlingen to the calm Frisian Islands. Along the way the ship can be set on a sandbar as the tide recedes and/or sail to the cosiness of the seaports. The 'Zephyr' is a sea sailing vessel, which makes it possible to sail to for example the German island of Helgoland or to England. Or try a sea sailing tour and learn how to navigate on sea (experience is not required). During the high season the 'Zephyr' sails around the Channel Islands and this spring she sails on the Baltic Sea (starting from Kiel in Germany). The crew will make you experience the versatility of these beautiful sailing areas. The spontaneous and pleasant atmosphere on board will make you feel at home right away.
In 2012 the 'Zephyr' will sail in the following areas:
