Biography

Gratia was built in Cowes on the Isle of Wight in 1900. She was originally built as a private yacht and has had several owners and names such as Cinderella.

Gratia was donated by the Stiftelsen Svenska Kryssarklubbens Segarskola (the Swedish Sail Training Foundation) by a ship owner Einar Hansson in 1964.

Gratia has since been sailing with teenage and adult trainees during the summer months, and has occasionally entered the Tall Ships’ Races. She charters for schools and companies during the Spring and Autumn.

A young person should sail with Gratia and Svenska Kryssarklubbens Seglarskola (The Swedish Cruising Club Sail Training Foundation). Sailing on board the Gratia is to take a step into a world of adventures and a community that probably will give you friends for life. It is a way of learning not only of ships and boat handling but also to learn about yourself and about life. The trainees work together with the ships' officers to manage the ship in everything from sailing, maintenance to cooking. Gratia is a “happy ship” and the often young officers will do everything in their power to make the sailing a fantastic experience. We who are engaged in Gratia and the Swedish Cruising Club Sail Training Foundation love our three ships Gratitude, Gratia and Atlantica. This is our way of life and we invite you to join us!
