The Gulden Leeuw is a three-masted topsail schooner, which means that you can climb the 40-metre mast to unpack the square sails.
The Gulden Leeuw started her life as Dana in 1937. She was sailing for the Danish government an ocean-going, ice class ship. During that time she was often conducting marine biological research.
In the 80's she was used as an offshore support ship, and after that the Danish Nautical School employed her to train their students in becoming experienced seamen. The P&T Charters bought Dana in 2007. The new owners have transformed her into a three-masted topsail schooner she is today, and renamed her as Gulden Leeuw (Golden Lion in Dutch).
Completely restored by 2010, in 2013 the Gulden Leeuw received the STI award for the „Most innovative initiative”. In 2017 she was named the Sail Training Organisation of the Year for „excellence, innovation and best practice in sail training for young people.”
