‘Mercedes’ was inaugurated in 2005 and
takes part in the Tall Ships races and is available for charter with
a maximum of 140 passengers. Her captain is Oliver Wipperfürth
She visited us for 6 days in July 2006 and we
were able to arrange three evening 3 hour sails with refreshments at
£35 a head and these were really well supported with around 100 each
evening. One local firm booked an evening just for themselves with
friends and clients and had 130 people on board for their sail.
Captain Oliver Wippefuerth was thrilled with his visit.
The massive brigantine is designed especially to
provide day sailing in total unashamed luxury with comfortable
lounges, deck saloon and bar and the rig has been designed so people
can help sail the ship if they wish.
