History
The Jacob Meindert started off as a tugboat based in Willemshafen. After several wanderings it was rebuild into a top sail schooner. Definitely a good choice, as the combination of a splendid hull with a clever rigging makes the Jacob Meindert an excellent sailing ship. For many years now, it sails the Baltic Sea and surroundings and also participates in sail events like the Kieler Woche and Sail Amsterdam. The Jacob Meindert also entered the Tall Ships' Race and Tiessen Race and won several times.Photos
