Our 2010 programme is now in place and offers a range of trips from day sails and masterclasses with the renowned Tom Cunliffe to cruises around the Channel Islands, the Breton coast, the West Country, southern Ireland and, during October, the Big Adventure - sailing to Portugal.

We offer the opportunity to book a berth as an individual or why not gather some friends together and take the whole boat for a sail for a day, a weekend or even a whole week..
If there is a trip you would like to do that is not on the programme, we are happy to contemplate anything (within reason). So why not give us a call on 0845 034 5388 (overseas: +44 1404 841 871) or send an email to info@traditional-sailing.com with an idea of what you want to do.
Come and sail Morwenna a recently built traditional sailing boat, a vessel steeped in maritime history. Feel and hear the creaking timbers beneath your feet, the strength of the ash tiller in your hand as you steer, the smell of the rope, the wood and the canvas. Be inspired, give yourself a chance to relax and think.
Morwenna, is a 45ft (on deck, 60ft with bowsprit) Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter. From the outside she has the looks and lines of a traditional, wooden and classic boat. However, her interior is modern and light, with living and sleeping spaces designed for comfort. The latest marine electronics and safety equipment have been cleverly integrated into a boat built using traditional wooden boatbuilding techniques and materials: the result – a modern classic.
The larch hull and deck sit on English oak frames, from sustainable and renewable resources. The building of Morwenna has had, and will continue to have, little impact upon the environment. She displaces 28 tonnes, is safe, solid and capable of sailing anywhere, in any conditions.

In a word... YES! Our 2010 programme is designed to allow sailors of any age, experience or ability enjoy a voyage on Morwenna, and for non sailors just sit back and relax. Book a single berth to enjoy the company of like minded people, or book the whole boat for your annual family holiday and an unforgettable adventure.
