History

Maybe, launched in 1933, was designed for round the world cruising. She was built by De Vries Lentsch in Amsterdam for Jan Jacob van Rietschoten. Maybe underwent a complete refit with a new rig after World War II and took part in the first Tall Ships Race in 1956. She sailed mainly around the Mediterranean and in the 70's regularly crossed the Atlantic between the West Indies and the Mediterranean. In the 80's she also sailed through the Panama Canal and up the east coast of the USA to Canada.
Maybe was sold to the present owners in 1989 and underwent another complete restoration returning to sailing in 2007 around Scotland and then onto Spain in 2008. She returned to the Tall Ships Race in the Baltic's in 2009 which she successfully completed.
