LOA

About LOA

LOA is a 3-masted barquentine operated by the Danish sail training trust, Tall Ship Aalborg Fonden. Primarily sailing in the Baltic and Northern Europe, LOA regularly participates in the Tall Ships Races.

Built in 1922 in Svendborg, Denmark, LOA originally served as a three-masted schooner. Between 2004 and 2009, she underwent an extensive restoration in Aalborg, transforming into a barquentine. This restoration was the largest of its kind in Denmark in decades, made possible by the dedication of around 100 volunteers and several skilled professional craftsmen.

Since her maiden voyage in 2009, LOA has hosted crew members and trainees from countries all over the world, including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, New Zealand, and the USA. She can accommodate up to 23 trainees and 9 crew members on overnight journeys.

Experience the legacy and adventure aboard LOA, where history, skill, and international camaraderie come together on the high seas.
