Build in 1918 in Scheveningen (NL) Eventually sold to Sweden where it was used in cargo shipping in Baltic waters. In 1975 she was sold and sailed under Lebanese flag and was used to undertake dubious activities. The Astrid completely found burnt in British waters. Around 1985 it came under British control and was fully restored there. Also during this period she received her present, imposing rig is fitted, and she did many years as a training ship for young people. Around 1998 it was sold to the Netherlands and radically transformed into a traditional, luxury yacht and is flourishing as never before.
