Sailing holidays on a classic large yacht and at the same time gaining an insight into the world of yacht building - Sailing Classics is offering this combination for the first time this season.

On a one-week long-distance cruise in the Mediterranean from Corfu across the Ionian Sea to Malta in October 2026, a five-day cruise will be organised on board the 54-metre ketch "Rhea", which was built in 2017. "Yacht construction course for beginners" offered.

Yacht designer Klaus Röder spends four hours a day providing information on the basics of hull and deck design, construction methods and principles, and gives practical insights into real yacht designs. No previous knowledge is required.

The cost of the course is 490 euros per person, in addition to the price of the trip. An accompanying textbook is included. The minimum number of participants is seven, the maximum ten.

Editor Travel

Christian Tiedt was born in Hamburg in 1975, but grew up in the northern suburbs of the city - except for numerous visits to the harbor, North Sea and Baltic Sea, but without direct access to water sports for a long time. His first adventures then took place on dry land: With the classics from Chichester, Slocum and Co. After completing his vocational training, his studies finally gave him the opportunity (in terms of time) to get active on the water - and to obtain the relevant licenses. First with cruising and then, when he joined BOOTE in 2004, with motorboats of all kinds. In the meantime, Christian has been able to get to know almost all of Europe (and some more distant destinations) on his own keel and prefers to share his adventures and experiences as head of the travel department for YACHT and BOOTE in cruise reports.
