Scale model of a sailing schooner 

1:20 scale

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. In the period 1978 to 1981 she underwent complete restoration in Hamburg, and since then she has sailed under the name Valdivia von Altona. She now serves as a charter vessel for extended sailing cruises, and has taken part with great success in international regattas.
