Brandaris Race 2017 - Mitsegeln auf Suydersee 

Hello, I'm not sure if it helps but at the website www.tallship-fan.de you can find more info about many of these ships. Your question seems to be more general. Most of the ships which you can see in this video were built for coastal and inland waters. They have been coastal freighters, cargo ships for the cities at the Dutch coast. Today they are charter ships for sailing with guests. They never leave the Dutch waters. Some of them sail in the North and Baltic Sea too but always close to the shore. The speed of these ships is quite different but the so-called Dutch Klippers with the shallow draft and long hull run faster than you would expect.

​@@tallshipfan7651 Thank you for taking the time to answer! Its the Dutch klippers Im the most interested about but flat bottom ships overall have sparked my interest. Have seen some of these ships in Sweden where i live and they seem perfect for the stockholm archipelago with it's shallow draft. Thinking about maybe try to save some history and restore one mainly to have as a sail experiance vessel to spark interested for younger generation but also to adventure out in Europe. That why i wondered about the sea worthyness, I know they are not ocean crossers but was more thinking of the Baltic / North / Norse fjords / mediterranean sea, but im guessing you have to stay quite close to land so no direct crossings? From videoes the Klippers seem quite fast, yes! Again thanks alot for the response and information!

@@Antiairdevil2 Try to sail onboard of one of these ships! It's easy and possible, even for groups! And it is a lot of fun too. Then you can talk to the owners. I'm sure they will tell you a lot about their ships. Choose one of the events in Dutch waters when travelling is possible again. There are flat-bottomed ships sailing the North and Baltic Seas. You can do so. It should take you not more than some hours to get close to the shore again. So crossing the Baltic Sea is not a problem when you keep an eye to the weather forecast. Check for instance ships like Stella Maris or Albert Johannes or De Albertha. Fair winds and keep healthy!

@@tallshipfan7651 Excellent idea! Will head down to the Dutch/Neatherlands when Covid finally gives up and go on a tour. Ok! ye they should be capable of that as long as you watch out for high seas/bad weather. And thanks for the names, Stella Maris is very close to what i have been looking at! Once again thanks for the help/information. Wish it to you as well!
