Clipper De Groninger
The Groninger is a seaworthy clipper from 1919. The ship sailed as a small freighter on the German Wadden Sea until 1995, after which it was completely converted into a sailing charter ship. The ship has four sails: a mizzen, mainsail, jib and jib. All sails are made of dacron and are hoisted by hand. Because of its flat bottom, the ship has excellent dry-docking capabilities.
With its high railing and excellent state of repair, De Groninger is a very safe ship, also for children. The crew is skilled and remains calm and friendly under all circumstances.
Equipment
The ship is cosily furnished and has 4 cabins and a pilot berth, a total of 9 berths. The nostalgic hold with portholes all around, has a nice log table and complete galley.
Skipper
Arjan van Dijk is the enthusiastic skipper of the Groninger. He is an experienced coach/trainer and he also provides teambuilding and training on board for courses, (international) companies and institutions.
For whom?
The Groninger is an ideal ship for co-sailors, small groups or teams, families and groups of friends.
