Latest addition to our fleet, Mustamaija was designed by the renowned Dutch naval architect H. Lunstroo Jr. and built in Finland at the Lappeenrannan Shipyard. Mustamaija represents the perfect union of Northern craftsmanship, strength, and elegance. Conceived by a group of Finnish yachtsmen and businessmen who planned to operate her in syndicated ownership, her construction began in 1981 and she was commissioned in time for the 1984 sailing season.

From the beginning, Mustamaija was designed and built to last — a robust steel vessel created for safe, long-distance voyaging and capable of thriving in demanding ocean conditions. Her hull, deck, and superstructure are all steel, complemented by a long keel, fully supported rudder, and protected propeller shaft — a combination that ensures exceptional strength, directional stability, and safety at sea.

Her design draws on the timeless beauty of the classic staysail schooner form. Balanced proportions, elegant sheer, and well-managed sail handling make her not only one of the most graceful yachts afloat, but also a practical and efficient vessel under sail. Her twin masts and staysail rig provide flexibility in all conditions, with easily managed sail plans for both heavy-weather and light-air performance.

Over her lifetime, Mustamaija has benefited from a comprehensive programme of maintenance, refits, and upgrades. Among her many improvements are a completely renewed teak deck, modern navigation systems, and upgraded onboard infrastructure.

Her interior combines functionality and comfort in classic Northern style. Warm teak joinery, soft leather upholstery, and finely finished fittings create a calm, welcoming environment for both crew and guests. She accommodates up to twelve people in four twin guest cabins, a private aft owner’s double cabin, and a forward skipper’s cabin, with two large bathrooms and modern galley facilities. The layout is spacious, well-ventilated, and designed for life at sea — elegant enough for harbour life, yet practical and durable for ocean voyages.
