The Крузенште́рн / Kruzenshtern - Big Sailboat ;)

in #knot6 years ago

A few days ago, when sailing through Świnoujście, we found the Kruzenshtern, four-masted barque that was built in 1926.

Of the four remaining Flying P-Liners, the former Padua is the only one still in use, mainly for training purposes, with her home ports in Kaliningrad (formerly Königsberg) and Murmansk. After Sedov, another former German ship, she is the largest traditional sailing vessel still in operation.

A few facts:
Tonnage: 3,064 GRT
Length: 114.4 m (375 ft)
Beam: 14.02 m (46.0 ft)
Height: 51.3 m (168 ft)
Draught: 6.8 m (22 ft)
Installed power: 2 × 1,000 bhp 8-cylinder diesel engines
Propulsion: sail & screw
Speed: 17.3 knots (32.0 km/h; 19.9 mph)
Crew: 257
Notes: Holds record for sailing between Hamburg and Australia via Chile: 8 months and 23 days
