Would you like to spend a different and active holiday onboard the Lilla Dan?

 

Shipowners J. Lauritzen A/S offer you various possibilities for a different and exiting holiday onboard their topsail schooner Lilla Dan in the summer of 2008. 

The navigation will be planned in consideration of both children and adults. Sailing will mainly take place during daytime. The minimum age for participation is 7 years (children shall be accompanied by parents/adults).

 

The ”Lilla Dan”  is a two-masted topsail schooner built in 1951 at Ring Andersen’s Træskibsværft in Svendborg as a training ship for J. Lauritzen A/S.

 

The ship is operated by a professional crew of 4 persons and can accommodate 16 overnight guests.

 

Conditions onboard:  

The participants sleep in bunks in the crew’s quarters which also function as day room. A bathroom and two toilets are located on deck.

 

The participants will be divided into twatches which operate the vessel in co-operation with the crew. All participants will under guidance by the crew take part in the daily work onboard e.g. carry out duties as a helmsman, common cleaning, duties in the galley and pantry, setting sail and sailing manoeuvres according to a fixed schedule. There are two watch-keeping periods during night navigation.

 

Depending on the composition of the participants and the purpose of the cruise, the cruises will consist of both sailing theory with a schooner, practice and various sailing manoeuvres with the vessel, where the individual participant will be in command during manoeuvring.
