The Kapitan Borchardt is a civil, Polish sailing training ship . It entered service as Nora in 1918 .

General

The ship was built in the Netherlands by the Waterhuizen shipyard "JJ Pattje & Zoon" and commissioned in 1918 as the cargo ship Nora for coastal shipping. The first home port was Nijmegen am Waal . Due to numerous changes of ownership, it was later named Harlingen, Möwe, Vadder Gerrit and In Spé . After a collision on the Thames in 1934, the former clipper bow had to be replaced by the current one. During the Second World War it served the Navy as a training ship in Gotenhafen . Then it came back to the Netherlands and in 1953 to Sweden as a freighter .

Since 1989, the sailor has been sailing under the Swedish flag as naiads on the Baltic Sea , after having been overhauled and expanded with 14 passenger cabins. In 2011 the Najaden was acquired by the current owner and transferred to Poland. On October 8, 2011, the Deputy Minister of Infrastructure Anna Wypych-Namiotko christened the ship in Gdansk with the name Kapitan Borchardt .

The ship is named after the Polish captain , instructor and author Karol Olgierd Borchardt (1905–1986). The auxiliary sailor has a steel hull and is rigged as a gaff schooner. The sail area is 600 m². As a training ship, eight men and 41 cadets belong to the ship's crew , during regattas there are four guards with 64 men . With 33 passengers, the ship has a crew of 16.

Under the Polish flag, the ship takes part in tall ship regattas in class B, including the Baltic Sail 2018 . After Gdansk, the home port is currently the port city of Szczecin .
