ABOUT THE SHIP
Built in Finland in 1992, the gaff schooner Helena is by virtue of her stylish construction and rigging a fast and seaworthy sailing boat. She has rounded Cape Horn, sailed up to the Artic Circle via Svalbard and crossed the 80th longitude. Helena is a prime example of the high standards in the Finnish art of boatbuilding, the flag ship of the Finnish Sail Training fleet.
