ABOUT THE SHIP
Christian Radich was constructed by the Framnæs Mech yard in 1937. She was built as a sail training ship with a capacity for berthing 80-90 students, a large galley for learning to cook, space for carpentry training and originally there was also a machine shop on board, where the galley is now, for the training of engineers.
Christian Radich is a regular competitor in the tall ships races and a winner on many occasions.
