Joining the crew of a classic sailing yacht is like stepping back in time to the great age of sail. You can almost smell the mahogany on Hetairos, a 43m ketch built by the German yard, Abeking & Rasmussen.

Inside the saloon there is a piano and a wood-burning stove. It looks like the kind of boat Phileas Fogg would have used to win his round-the-world-in-80 days wager.
