TOMORROW WE SET SAIL......

Our Barkentine Vessel

Here a some facts about the ship we will be sailing on:

The Antigua was built in 1957 in Thorne, Yorkshire (U.K.) as a fishing boat and was in service for many years. Looking at this elegant barkentine today, it’s hardly recognisable as the working vessel it once was.  Between 1993 and 1997 the ship was reconstructed - with a magnificent sense for maritime detail - into a beautiful sailing ship with all the comforts of a modern passenger vessel. Sixteen double cabins offer every form of comfort. The Antigua is recognizable for its convincing lines and stylish interior, which ensure your stay will be an exclusive maritime experience.

I am thrilled with the depth and diversity of our group and with our director Aaron O'Conner. Someone counted 9 languages amongst us. There are individuals here from Korea, The Yukon, Indonesia, Ireland, United Kingdom, Brazil, Toronto, Vancouver, Tawain and many parts of the states. They range from being artists/scientists to musicians, composers, performance artists and poets along with some painters, photographers and a landscape architect....
