Friendship

The ketch in question has always been on Lake Thun. In the 1970s, it belonged to a private individual and was used by the sailing school in Neuhaus on Lake Thun. Herreshoff is one of the greatest yacht designers in the world. This wonderful ketch was designed by Francis Herreshoff and built at the Stähli boatyard in Switzerland in 1954. Herreshoff boats are THE ultimate classics. In 2020 and 2021, when all our deep-sea sailing trips could not take place in winter, we renovated this ketch instead. With a team of volunteers and 2000 hours of work, crowdfunding and plenty of idealism, we made it happen. Aptly named, the ketch is called FRIENDSHIP because so many friends and friends of friends helped realize and now support the project. The Friendship is rented incl. skipper. The itinerary can be tailored individually to your needs. Picnic, swim stop, sightseeing on Lake Thun, St. Beatus Caves, etc. - much is possible. The ship is also suitable for weddings, birthdays, burials at sea and trial sailing.
