After two years of preparation, planning, and construction S/Y Vela was launched in mid-July 2020! She will now clear out of Thailand and head to Singapore in advance of her maiden voyage, an incredible journey from Singapore to Cape Town. Marking Sea|mester’s 20th anniversary, the decision to build our third vessel was an exciting and exhausting event. Vela has an incredibly bright future ahead, yet our build blog will remain on our site as a testament to those that made the creation and birth of our newest floating classroom possible.
