The “Stad” is a recently built three-masted clipper intended for the charter trade, as well as a training center for unemployed young people. The start of the year 2000 saw the birth of a new sailing ship: The Stad Amsterdam - a clipper, built along the classical lines of this type of ship but equipped with the latest technology. The Stad was the result of a joint project between the city of Amsterdam (the Netherlands) and the human resources company, Ranstad. They built a ship for chartering, which at the same time would become a training center for young, unemployed people, to enable them to learn a new profession at sea. This was the last image I will share of the Sail Amsterdam event, I will be off for a two week holiday to France!
