In the summer of 1980 a beautiful old sail-training ship, the Sorlandet, restored and re-rigged. sailed from south Norway to join the tall-ships race in the Baltic. Only the captain had sailed the Sorlandet before; he had just seven days to teach his international crew of young trainees to sail her.
This is the story of that week at sea, as seen by one of those aboard the ship, Stan Hugill , 74.
