Expedition Hire
What's the plan?
Grayhound is one of the few sailing ships of her kind. Sure, she’s a historically accurate replica 1776 three-masted lugger… but she’s also fast, modern and silent.
Grayhound sails worldwide. She is at home in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Amazon and Arctic, and is resilient in all weathers. She sails at up to 12 knots (14 mph, 22 km/h) and is perfect for vulnerable ecosystems. She also has a back-up engine, and a state-of-the-art satellite communication system.
So, what is your expedition? Is it scientific research in the arctic? Or an exploratory climbing expedition to some of the big walls in Greenland? Tell us about your dreams. Please note, this page is for the big projects! (And if you’re not sure, write to us anyway!)
