The Christian Radich was in Madeira recently.
This is a sailboat that usually make stops regularly at the port of Funchal. She is a Norwegian full-rigged ship. The vessel was built in Norway, and was delivered on 17 June 1937. The owner was The Christian Radich Sail Training Foundation established by a grant from an officer of that name. The crew is 18 altogether. It can accommodate 88 passengers.
The vessel was built for training sailors for the Norwegian merchant navy, and did so for many years. From 1999 and on, the ship has been on the charter market as well as sailing with paying trainees to foreign ports on summer trips, and large sail events in various European ports.
