About Navio Escola Sagres
The Navio Escola Sagres is the Portuguese Navy's most commended sailing ship. Built in 1937 by the German yard Blohm & Voss this ship was one of four sister-ships ordered by the German Navy. After WWII, the Ship was conceded to the American Navy before substituting the previous "Sagres" in the Portuguese Navy in 1961. Being the Navy's biggest, this 89m (292ft) steel-built ship has two 42m (138ft) masts and a smaller Mizzen. It can fly up to 2000m2 (21527sqft) partitioned over 22 sails combining the traditional square sails, used in the 16th Century ships, in the forward masts and a gaff arrangement in the aft mizzen. It is now used as a school and training ship sailing around the World with a crew of 129 and 63 Navy Cadets.
