The winter crew training class takes place in Wilmington at the ship yard and spans 11 Saturdays from January through April.
The many participants in this winter class also assist with the ship's maintenance, and rig-up in the spring.

The original Kalmar Nyckel sailed from Sweden to the New World in 1638 leaving its passengers to establish the first permanent European settlement in the Delaware Valley, the Colony of New Sweden in present-day Wilmington, Delaware. She made a total of four roundtrip crossings of the Atlantic, more than any other ship of the era.
The present day Kalmar Nyckel serves as Delaware's seagoing goodwill ambassador.
