Traditional sailing in the Danish South Sea Islands: One week aboard the historic shark cutter "Nordstjernen"

The experience: Living maritime history

Sailing on a wooden shark cutter has an incomparable character. "Nordstjernen" demands genuine traditional seamanship: sails are set by hand and the ship is moved as a team.
The Danish South Sea Islands sailing area is ideally suited to this type of vessel. With its countless small islands, narrow channels and charming island harbours (such as Ærøskøbing, Lyø or Birkholm), it offers the perfect backdrop for unwinding from everyday life. We are completely self-sufficient, planning provisions together and cooking in the cosy galley on board.

The challenge: Community and team spirit

On a traditional sailing vessel like "Nordstjernen" there are no passengers – everyone aboard is part of the ship's crew.
• Requirements: You need no previous experience in traditional sailing. The experienced permanent crew of the owners' association will thoroughly instruct us in all tasks and safety aspects.
• Commitment: What matters is the enthusiasm for mucking in together, team spirit and the willingness to embrace the rustic charm and living space of a historic wooden ship.
• Flexibility: The exact route is decided daily according to wind and weather, in order to move the ship safely and gently on her gear through the island world.

The essentials at a glance:

• Vessel type: Historic shark cutter "Nordstjernen"
• Duration: 1 week (6 sailing days)
• Start & finish: Möltenort (Kiel Fjord)
• Crew size: Minimum 6, maximum 10 places.
• Schedule: Independent arrival the day before departure, departure on the final day after berthing and clearing up the ship.
• Costs & logistics: A shared virtual ship's kitty (Tricount approx. €250) will be set up for provisions, harbour fees and fuel.

A trip for all who want to experience honest, traditional sailing on a historic yacht and become part of a committed temporary crew.
