The classic sailing yacht Ora et Labora recently launched at Lanzarote's dock.

Launching of the Ora et Labora: Lanzarote's classic sailing yacht returns to sea

After months of work, restoration and meticulous care, the Ora et Labora, a classic sailboat from the late nineteenth century unique in Lanzarote, has returned to touch the sea. Its launching marks a new chapter for this historic vessel that, generation after generation, is kept alive thanks to its heritage value and the passion of the team that takes care of her.

A historic sailboat reborn in Lanzarote

The Ora et Labora is one of the few traditional boats still sailing today in the Canary Islands. Its original structure, its wooden details and its unmistakable silhouette make it a symbol of sustainable, traditional and authentic sailing.

The launching does not only mean that the ship floats again: it represents the result of a process of artisanal maintenance and a deep connection with the naval tradition of the archipelago.

Hull restoration and maintenance

During the last few months, the team has worked with precision on the revision of the hull, the carpentry, the structural elements and everything necessary to restore her to her original integrity.

Every plank, every reinforcement and every detail has been treated with the utmost respect for the essence of the boat.

A classic sailing yacht that once again offers unique experiences

With its launching completed, the Ora et Labora resumes its objective: to offer private and authentic experiences in Lanzarote, bringing locals and travelers closer to classic sailing, maritime culture and the landscapes of the south of the island.

Its proposal combines history, sustainability and a way of understanding the sea that hardly exists anymore.

What does this launching mean for the future of Ora et Labora?

From now on, the sailboat will continue to offer:

  • Traditional sailing

  • Private experiences for families and groups
