Classic yacht enthusiasts will meet next Saturday for the highlight of the winter season with specialist lectures and a rich entertainment programme on the subject of traditional yachts. A symposium will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., focussing on construction and restoration, while the evening event starting at 7 p.m. will offer reports, outlooks and cultural events.

The organising crew of the Freundeskreis Klassische Yachten promises a colourful bouquet full of adventurous, interesting and cultural contributions to the guests who will be admitted to the Miralles Saal of the Hamburg Youth Music School at Mittelweg 42 from 6 pm. There will be plenty of room for a chat as well as a culinary and music programme. Interested guests are also welcome, admission is free and registration is not required.

Symposium with specialist presentations

Although the symposium during the day, which will feature high-calibre speakers, can only be attended by registration and for an entrance fee, it will be broadcast virtually and is therefore also open to all interested parties. The topics of yacht construction, wooden boat building and restoration will be explored in depth in various presentations.

Colourful evening for everyone

In the evening, the classic ship community can look forward to the traditional winter meeting with interesting lectures, picture presentations and reports on small and large ships, sea voyages and events that will arouse anticipation for the coming season.

Lecture on "Princess Svanvit"

A highlight will be the presentation by Charlotte Hellman from Sweden, who will talk about the 12mR yacht "Princess Svanevit". Last summer's Classic Week will also be a topic and many other guests, films, prizes, poetry, music and more can be expected.

Free participation for everyone

Participation is free of charge and open to everyone; membership of the Freundeskreis Klassische Yachten is not required, nor is registration.
