Formerly a schoolship for training of young cadets, she is now owned and operated by a non profit foundation offering adventure sailings for young people of all ages.
The SØRLANDET is the oldest operative full-rigged ship in the world. She was built in 1927 at the Høivolds Mek. Verksted, a local shipyard in Kristiansand.
The aim of the SØRLANDET
is to give the participants an experience of traditional square rig sailing and the life at sea, while preserving the ship through an active and purposeful use. The foundation is centrally located in Kristiansand, where the administration manages all facets of the operation and preservation of the ship. For inquiries, please contact us.
