Description
While sailing with friends on the Kieler Bucht in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, during Kieler Woche (Kiel Week) we encountered this beautiful brig, the Mercedes.
The ship was built in the Netherlands in 1958 as ocean going fishing vessel and was fishing for years in the North Atlantic. She was refurbished in 2005 and during the summer season, Mercedes now sets sail on different maritime festivals along the Northern European coast and the new owners offer sailing training throughout the year crossing over to the Caribbean in the fall for the winter.
The Brig is 43.5 meter tall and the length of the hull is 94 meters with a total sail area of 900m2.
