The purpose of the organization is to encourage preservation of sailing ships and sailing ships with auxilary engine. We require that our member ships are originally built for commercial sailing trade, and that the ships dimensions exceed 12 x 4 meters. It is also our firm belief that the best way of preserving the ships is to sail them.
Today there are fiftyeight member ships in the association, and our members are ten times as many.
Not only the ship owners benefit from the association. The publication contains articles in historical retrospect and gives information about the association's activitys, and immediate events concerning the ships. The contents of the publication is provided by the members themselves. Opportunity to sail with the member ships, and to help the owners with the practical work of restoration. Invitation to SSF seminars and to the fruitful discussions of the annual meeting.
