Tall ship sailing specialist Star Clippers has announced a special guest speaker on three of its Mediterranean sailings this summer. Captain Klaus Muller, now retired, is one of the company’s best-loved characters, having taken Star Clippers’ ships all over the world during a long and illustrious career at sea.
The charismatic Captain Muller will give talks to guests, many of whom will have sailed with him in the past, on subjects close to his heart: Tall ships, celestial navigation, the history of sailing, the Vikings; rounding Cape Horn, waves and tsunamis; the legendary Clippers of the 19th century; and the challenges of sailing big ships today.
Captain Muller will be on board Star Flyer for three Balearics sailings round-trip from Palma, Mallorca: 11th, 18th and 25th July.
