Main Projects / Activities

As we are young organisation, first our bigger project was in 2014 - "Burpilis" regatte of traditional and historical sailing ships that lasted for three days in Curonian lagoon. Also, our member boats participated in yearly Sea festival in Klaipėda. 

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We have made some contact with colleagues in Crotaia (Rijeka) with similar activities. There is a mutual wish to share the skills and the knowledge by visiting maritime heritage events in both countries (Lithuania and Croatia).

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

It would boost our connections with traditional shippers and sailors of Mediterranean region. Though it seems very far from the Baltics sea we have some cultural similarities.
