The Japanese, 4-masted, 367' barque KAIWO MARU II is one of the tall ships that might be part of the ASTA tall ships challenge of 2008 on the west coast.Recently I received the correct url and e-mail address for the ship from Kazu Nakayama.
Kazu is a former ASTA summer intern, and can help with translating Japanese text and questions on the webpage. His e-mail is: kazu@saltyfriends.com
KAIWO MARU II is owned by the National Institute for Sea Training, the same organization which owns and operates NIPPON MARU II, the sister-ship. KAIWO MARU II is operated by the Seafarers Education Development Association, and is allowed to take civilians as paying guest and trainees.

Does anyone knows, whether the Kaiwo Maru is coming to Holland (Den Helder) in 2008?
I do not think so. KAIWO MARU seems to be doing day-sail in Japanese waters only.
