"Avontuur" - Freight sailing ship
A beautiful sailboat
The "Avontuur", a 44-metre-long sailing ship built in 1920 in Holland, was restored to its original condition as a freighter in traditional craftsmanship with the support of 160 volunteers, professional shipbuilders, sail makers, riggers and other craftsmen. It can hold 114 tons of cargo. "Avontuur" transports goods sustainably between Europe and the world and closes the gap between ecological production and responsible consumption. It is a symbol of environmental protection at sea.
The 7-strong crew, consisting of experienced professional sailors, is complemented by up to nine interested fellow sailors.
