Seiltokt

Seiltokt er en opplevelse for livet.
Du kan stå til rors på et av verdens største og vakreste seilskip, eller du kan være med å sette mer enn 2000 m2 seil på under én time! Du trenger ingen seilerfaring - opplæring får du underveis.

«Statsraad Lehmkuhl» er ikke som et vanlig 'passasjerskip'. Her kommer du om bord som "medseiler", det vil si at du tar del i det arbeidet som foregår på skipet. Du går vakter sammen med profesjonelle sjøfolk, alt fra utkikk og rortørn til byssevakt. Det å klatre i riggen er for mange den ultimate seilopplevelsen, men dette er helt frivillig.
Innkvarteringen skjer på banjerne i hengekøye og sovepose.

Om bord vil du treffe mange forskjellige mennesker, både når det gjelder alder, bakgrunn og nasjonalitet. Men det fine er at når man først kommer ut på havet og seilene er satt, overskygger samholdet alt annet. Atmosfæren kan vanskelig beskrives - den må oppleves!

Skjærgårdsturer

Et ekte seilskip er en flott ramme for å oppleve skjærgården.
Disse turene passer perfekt for vennegjenger, familie, organisasjoner eller bedrifter som vil gjøre noe hyggelig og sosialt sammen.

På de åpne turene tilbyr vi levende musikk og et fristende reke- og sildebord. Maten er inkludert i prisen, og dere kan spise så mye dere vil. Forfriskninger kjøpes om bord.

Er været ulagelig, så kle deg godt.

HISTORY

After comprehensive refurbishment work the Statsraad Lehmkuhl appear as one of the world´s best preserved square rigged tall ships. Her history begins in 1914 in Bremerhaven-Geestemünde, Germany, where she was built as a training ship for the German merchant marine under the name “Grossherzog Friederich August”.

After the 1st World War the ship was taken as booty by the British. In 1921 she was brought to Bergen by the former minister Kristofer D. Lehmkuhl, and used as a sail training ship from 1923 until the outbreak of the 2nd World War. As a token of appreciation and gratitude to Kristofer Lehmkuhl for his work for the school training ship cause, and for his work in the 1905-cabinet, the ship was renamed “Statsraad Lehmkuhl” (Minister Lehmkuhl). Except during the war between 1940 – 1945 when the Germans occupied her and renamed her “Westwärts”, the ship was run by Bergens Skoleskib continuously until 1966. In 1967, shipowner Hilmar Reksten saved the ship from being sold to a foreign country, and in 1978 he donated the Statsraad Lehmkuhl to Stiftelsen Seilskipet Statsraad Lehmkuhl who has owned and operated the ship ever since.

In the further operation of the ship, economy and maintenance work became huge challenges for “Stiftelsen”. However, own earnings, support from the authorities and a significant contribution from Statsraad Lehmkuhl´s friendship association as well as private subscribers, has resulted in the fact that Norway´s biggest tall ship is today fully refurbished to former beauty!

SAIL CRUISES

A dream under white sails!
Imagine yourself at the wheel on one of the world´s largest and most beautiful sailing ships – or helping to set more than 2000m2 of sails in less than one hour! No previous sailing experience is required; you will receive training under way. Let your dream come true!

Statsraad Lehmkuhl is one of the world´s most prestigious sailing ships. You come aboard as a sail trainee, which means that you participate in the activities of the ship. You´ll be on duty with professional sailors, doing everything from keeping watch, steering the ship, fire inspections to working in the galley. Great care is taken to preserve the maritime traditions, especially sailing maneuvers. To many people climbing the rigging is the ultimate sailing experience, but this is completely voluntary. Between the duties there might be time for some shanty singing or knot work… Your quarters are below deck in hammocks, like in the good old days. You have to bring your own sleeping bag.

Aboard the ship you will meet people from different countries, backgrounds and generations. When you are out on the ocean and the sails are set, companionship is all that matters. The atmosphere on board is indescribable, it has to be experienced!

MINI CRUISES

In May and June we normally do mini cruises in the evening in the idyll among the skerries outside Bergen. These trips are perfect for friends, couples, organizations or companies who want to do something social and pleasant together. On these trips we offer you a tempting buffet of shrimps and different kinds of herring. This is included in the price and you buy the beverages extra. There is also live music on board these evening cruises. All cruises start and end at Bradbenken; Statsraad Lehmkuhl´s mooring space at the famous “Bryggen”. We will either cruise north or south in the skerries, depending on the wind- and weather conditions. If the weather is not so good, we recommend you to bring warm and windproof clothes.

"Statsraaden Bar er en kafe på dagtid og konsert og skjenkested i Bergen ved enden av Bryggen. Stedet ligger fint til ved siden av vannkanten og har byens fineste utsikt over vågen. Alt av inntekter går til vedlikehold og drift av Seilskipet Statsraad Lehmkuhl. Konserttilbudet er variert i hovedsak i sjangeren rock og pop."
