Reasons To Sail

Esprit is a modern and fast vessel with a traditional rigg and a wooden hull. It has two masts , which makes the rigg very interesting and variable. Esprit is doing sail training and the trainees are learning a lot during the trips. Esprit also stands for fun and teamwork during the tall ships races and a intensive network to other vessels.

Sail Training Programme

We offer a chance to learn about good seamanship and sailing on a fast vessel. We promote teamwork and cross-cultural understanding. We offer interesting trips, including some just for a weekend, to find out how sailing is. We also offer journeys to destinations that are further away. All trainees do onboard is learn throughout the journey. It starts from hoisting the sails, undocking and docking manoeuvres, navigation, ship technic, radar navigation, working with the radio and being part of a watch (including being on the rudder)
