LAUWERSZEE
Sporty, comfortable, nautical
Multi-day tours: 20 people
day trips: 36 people
The Lauwerszee is a comfortable clipper with excellent sailing characteristics. The ship has a beautiful, nautical appearance, combined with all the modern conveniences.
Rigging
The Lauwerszee is a wide clipper with a handy rig. The width provides plenty of space and excellent stability, so you don't have to worry about seasickness. A few modifications (such as extra winches) make it possible to sail the ship well even with a relatively small crew. However, for the more ambitious sailors, there's still plenty to do, and we're happy to bring out our extra sails.
Below deck
At the forward end of the ship is a cozy, spacious lounge with plenty of seating space.

De Hoop
The Lauwerszee was built as 'De Hoop'. Skipper Lambertus Cornelis Maasbach commissioned the iron clipper 'De Hoop' in 1915 for his youngest son Gradus Theodorus at the 'Boot te Vrijenban' shipyard in Delft. De Hoop was built according to a construction plan from 1892. Dozens of clippers have been built based on this plan over the years. The keel of De Hoop was laid on May 20, 1915. The ship was launched on October 7. At that time, it transported coal, sand, and gravel.
