The drawing shows ''Neptun af Marstal'' as bought with first small refit done by her nonprofit NEPTUN in 2023. The next drawing will follow soon will be the 10th and final drawing and will show "Neptun af Marstal" in her current appereance, after her recent major refit and new rigging.

Once done; the whole set of 10 drawings, includes a full write-up on her history including photos and will be published on the main website later this year so stay tuned.

A final goodbye to the training crew for Leg 2 as we anchor in Mauritius before the next leg around the Cape of Good Hope. It’s been a wild ride with challenges of all shapes and sizes but totally worth to experience the most remote islands in the Indian Ocean.

NEPTUN featured in Green Prophet 🌍⛵

Green Prophet has written about Neptun af Marstal, about what it means to find your sea legs, about watches, sail handling, and the community on board. Not a cruise, but a crew.
We're glad that an international magazine for sustainable travel sees what we believe in ourselves: that sailing under canvas is slow travel in the best sense of the word, and that old craft only survives if it's put to use.

Thank you to Karin Kloosterman and Green Prophet for the attention. Read the article here 👇
