TS Astrid becalmed in Weymouth Bay
Astrid, Brig. The Astrid was built in 1918 and was first a motor ship working as a herring drifter in the Baltic sea. In 1970 she came into British hands and was refurbished with her impressive rigging and sailed as a training ship from her home,(at that time), Port of Weymouth in Dorset, England. In 1999/2000, she was extensively rebuilt and now features 12 comfortable cabins, a pleasant saloon and bar. The Astrid also has a second deckhouse, the navigation room, that can be used as a separate meeting room for groups. The Astrid now sails from her home in the Netherlands traveling thousands of miles each year offering corporate sailing days, holidays on board and sail training.
