Maybe
Maybe, a 1920’s Dutch sailing ketch, made out of wood in 1933, was designed for round the world cruising. She has been completely restored recently and returned to the Tall Ships races. A major milestone in Maybe’s history is that she took part in the first ever Tall Ships Race in 1956! Since then, Maybe came third in her class in the 2014 Tall Ships Race. Maybe can accommodate 12 trainee crew members and 3-4 permanent crew.
Pelican of London
Pelican of London is unique among Square Riggers. Her hull form was derived from the elite French clippers of the late 19th century, a long poop has been added which provides exceptional space and comfort for worldwide operation. Her exclusive rig generates twice her engine power and yet it is handy and easily adapted to extreme conditions. She is 45 metres overall and has 11 sails. Pelican has been designed principally as a sail training ship and can accommodate 28 trainees.
