The engine, too, is constructed in a very sophisticated way. Two identical Cegielski-Sulzer-Diesel-Motors on only one propeller make her go at up to 11 knots under ideal conditions. MIR can be brought safely into port with either of them on it’s own. Additionally MIR is one of the safest sailing vessels ever built. She is extremely stabile. According to her constructor, if all bulleyes are closed, healing over to 90° would not be a problem for her. Normally the critical point is 45°, the end is reached y 60° on traditional windjammers. Without having any kind of luxuries, she can be called very comfortable. Normally you can drink the water that is coming out of her taps, the heating works very well. Everybody has got enough space in the cabin. Only the direction of the bed could have been different. In heavy seas it can happen that you fall out of your bed. The ship has got drying rooms to dry your clothes when you came in from the watch soaked from the rain, a microwave in the crew’s mess room, very convenient if the captain decides to make a tack during your mealtime, board loudspeakers, so one need not search the entire ship for a person. Charming details are a piano in the cadet’s school room and a chessboard on the capstan. Helm watch is more fun on the MIR than on traditional ships. Why? First of all, the hydraulic system makes it possible, that one person can steer on his own, second, it is possible to steer from the inside with a joystick. The main reason is that the helmsman stands on a high position in front of the bridge house. So he can see not only almost all sails, but the entire ship and the sea. By rigging MIR is a ship. Up to 26 sails can be set. See the rigging plan for the names of them. The trick is that the Russians use Dutch terminology which is not so different from the German. The masts are fore-, main-, and mizzenmast, but most time the mizzen is also called “Besanmast”. The maximum crew is 199 men, the ship can be sailed by only 30. But that means that absolutely everybody without exception has to go to the braces. The winter-crew consists of 24 men. That means: no sails.
