Tall Ship Maybe Explore Dream Discover 2016 VoyageProgramme
Tall Ship Maybe Maybe has a rather famous history, built in 1929 for Jan Jacob Van Rietschoten, father of The Flying Dutchman, Cornelis 'Conny' Van Rietschoten, the only skipper to win the Whitbread Round the World Race twice. In the hands of the Rietschoten family, Tall Ship Maybe spent many years sailing around the world. Jan Jacob Van Rietschoten wanted a strong sea worthy vessel, so had Maybe built with extra strength by using steel frames, a hardwood hull and teak decking. Interesting Fact Maybe took part in the first ever Tall Ships Races in 1956. She is one of the few vessels who took part in the first race who is still participating in the races today.
