A beautiful two-masted clipper from the traditional Dutch Brown Fleet
The Averechts is part of the famous Brown Fleet, the professional passenger sailing with traditional sailing ships in the Netherlands and the sailing heritage of the Dutch waters. This fleet consists of more than 400 classic sailing ships, which were formerly used for cargo transport or fishing. Today, these ships offer unique sailing holidays, ranging from short day trips to multi-week adventurous journeys.
The name ‘Brown Fleet’ refers to the characteristic, light brown color of the sails. This color was created by tanning the sails with catechu, giving the ships their warm, recognizable appearance.
