The conversion was completed in 1983, and "Amorina" participated in that year's Cutty Sark Tall Ships Race. The vessel was based in Stockholm during 1985 and early 1986. In March, "Amorina" sailed to England and joined the First Fleet Re-enactment Voyage: a historical re-enactment for the Australian Bicentenary. She left England for Australia in May 1987, and sailed with the fleet via Tenerife, Rio de Janeiro, Cape Town, Mauritius, and Fremantle before arriving in Sydney on Australia Day (26 January) 1988.
