Meander

History

The vessel was built 1949 in Hamburg “Finkenwerder” in Germany. In her first incarnation the vessel was a fishing boat mainly used in the North Sea. The hull is steel. In 1991 she was reconverted in a sailing vessel.

Ship

Strong and reliable sailing vessel. In December 1999 to March 2000 the Meander organized trips to the Antarctic, then via Argentina, Rio de Janeiro, Grenada, the British Virgin Islands, the Bahamas, North Carolina and New York, the Azores and then over England back to the Netherlands. Due to its technical and constructional design the 2-masted staysail schooner has the “world-wide ride” certificate. In the years 2007 until 2008 the Meander received another conversion that made the ship even more comfortable.
