THE ASSOCIATION
The replacement of the rigging was just the beginning: when the Passat was listed as a historic monument in 1978, the ship was in a worrying condition and urgent action was required.

INCENTIVES
With appeals for donations, nationwide campaigns, the sale of souvenirs and tireless commitment, the members of the association have been raising funds for the preservation of the PASSAT for about 40 years.
It was only with this essential aid and funding from the Association that the Hanseatic City of Lübeck was able to carry out numerous work and measures on board. Click on the dots and discover what was done and where!
THE PASSAT
IN NUMBERS
Would you have known? The construction of the PASSAT in 1911 at Blohm and Voss cost 680,000 Reichsmark. The 3,684 square metre sail area – which is about the size of a middle football field, could push up the Passat with 17 knots – that's after all about 32 kilometers per hour.
