Vanadis Schooner

In the mid-1860's a Swedish distilling company placed a contract with the
Stockholm dockyard of Soedra Varvet for the construction of a fast, elegant
sailing schooner. In 1868 the 29 m long Vanadis was launched, rigged as a
Newfoundland schooner. During her colourful career the vessel's high speed was
in demand, and at times she operated as a smuggling boat and as a customs
vessel. She now serves as a charter vessel for extended sailing cruises,
and has taken part with great success in international regattas.
