The focus of this trip will be to learn the ways of sailing a 100 year old sailing trawler. All our trips offer the chance to get involved with hoisting sails, taking the helm and being a part of the crew. But on this trip learning will be the main focus. This should be great fun. We'll give ourselves the time to get things wrong, have a laugh, a cup of tea then give it another go. It'll be great for anyone who's curious to know how a really analogue bit of tec works.
No prior knowledge needed. Just an inquisitive mind and a willingness to give it a go.
