About sailingcharter Minerva

This elegant lady launched in 1878 from one of the many yards on the Kinderdijk (on the river Lek). She was built as a Stevenaak, a freight ship with outstanding sail characteristics, especially in a headwind.

As well as facing all the usual hazards as a freight ship, she managed, unlike many of her peers, to avoid the breakers yard when times got hard. In 1994 a major restoration was started, and two years later she began her second youth as sailing ship.

Every year she, and her skilled crew, provide many people with a fantastic time on the water.
