Steel sailing vessel for expeditions to the remote parts of the world
The schooner Elsi was built at the German Blumenthaler shipyard in 1986. It was a training expedition sailing vessel. The extensive renovations were made in 2013.
The schooner was subsequently used for medical humanitarian expeditions in the remote parts of the world.
In 2022 Elsi has joined the Rusarc fleet and started new life with Antarctic expeditions.
