The 'Christian Radich' off Holywood
Norwegian ship the 'Christian Radich' Link
(Archive Link ) at the beginning of the Parade of Sail. This was the first tall ship to depart Belfast.
Launched in 1937 "Christian Radich is one of Norway’s well known sailing ambassadors. The ship functioned as a sail training ship from 1937 to 1998. Now the ship acts as training ship for the Norwegian Navy during the winter season. During the summer period, the ship offers voyages for school classes, functions for companies and private parties and participates in the Tall Ships’ Races.
With 1.360 m˛ of sail, almost 9000 metres of rope and a 37,7 metres tall main mast, Christian Radich has proven hard to beat on the regattas. The famous deck is an attractive arena for entertainment in port.
She is a regular participant in The Tall Ships' Races and has been first on corrected time on several occasions." (from Link accessed 12/2015).
