Maritimt Center Danmark

If you visit Funen you have the possibility of experiencing something special; a sail on board one of the old sail ships. When the engine stops and the sails are set on the more than 100 years old ships, only the waves, the wind, the groaning of the woodwork and the enthusiastic voices fill the ears. A maritime experience for those who would like to take part in setting sails, being at the helm and helping with the many meters of ropes. The skipper would like to show you how to e.g. read a chart or tie the right knot. From July until September day trips with the old ships are arranged from many of the ports in Funen. Usually the sails take you around one or more of the cosy inlets. Each island has its own history, traditions and sights - perhaps the skipper will tell you tall tales during the sail. Let wind and weather set the pace and surrender to the fantastic nature around Funen.
