The Schooner Martha Society

Using Martha Nowadays:

Today, Martha is operated strictly non-profit. During the summer-season groups of members and their kids are sailing for fun, adventure and vacation, mainly in the Baltic. On saturdays the ship will call on ports according to the sailing-plan of the year announced in the spring.

Martha also participates in some of the numerous regattas each year. Fx The Flensburger Rhum-Regatta, The Wooden-ship-owners Whit-Sunday, The Aarhus Festival and The Samsų Potato-Run.
Coaching will often be the main purpose sailing for a week-end or a few days in the spring, the late summer or autuum. The mixed experience of sportsfishing, story-telling, singing, playing music and getting to know the ship, by steering or trimming the sails, makes unforgettable week-ends.

Each year for one og two weeks schoolchildren are invited with their teachers to board the ship while in harbour. Instructors explain how the ship was used and teach them to hoist a sail or handle the ships boat. Until now, 14.000 young gests saw the ship during these arrangements.
