It is time to start thinking about your 2012 sailing trips. For the moment, The Traditional Sailing Co is not publishing a schedule of where we will be sailing next year as we want to focus on whole boat charters. Once these are in place we will again be offering a variety of delivery trips, day sails, Tom Cunliffe masterclasses and other voyages.
So, what sort of trips might you want to charter Morwenna for? To give you an idea of what can be booked we offer the following for your consideration. For each of these, Morwenna can comfortably sleep ten people, which includes the skipper and mate.
The Pilot Cutter Regatta
This is based in Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight from Friday, 27 April to Monday, 30 April. This event offers the opportunity to start the season on a competitive foot racing against other Pilot Cutters. Evening entertainment is arranged and plenty of other activities to keep you and your party occupied. Morwenna can be chartered for this event for £3000.

Plymouth - La Rochelle: 1939/2012 Revival
The French Yacht Club Classique is reviving an event that was first raced in 1939, stopped for the Second World War and then was contested each year from 1947 to 1981. The hope is that in 2012 more than 40 classic yachts will take part from Plymouth in friendly competition and some good parties.
The event starts with a crew supper on 24 July before a start on 25 July from Plymouth. The first leg finishes in Douarnenez on 27 July. The second leg leaves Douarnenez on 29 July arriving in La Rochelle on 31 July.
Morwenna can be chartered for £4000 for this event. For further details, please email us at info@traditional-sailing.com or call Stuart on 0845 034 5388.
General Chartering
Other than the events highlighted above, we suggest having a quick look at this year's schedule for ideas of where you can take Morwenna. She can be chartered for £700 for a day sail, £1800 for a weekend or £4000 for a week.
There are no restrictions on where her journeys start and end. Whether you fancy a few days in the Solent, a trip from Falmouth to the Isles of Scilly, or the Channel Islands and the northern coast of Brittany, please give us a call to discuss how we can turn your plans into reality.
Please email us at info@traditional-sailing.com or call Stuart on 0845 034 5388.
We have received a number of enquiries about the RYA Yachtmaster Qualification which we can teach aboard Morwenna. We are currently trying to confirm dates with those who have expressed an interest. If you would also like to earn this internationally respected qualification in the first few months of 2012 then please contact Stuart on 0845 034 5388 as soon as possible.
This winter we have moored Morwenna in Dartmouth rather than her usual winter base in Bristol. She is based on the Town Jetty and remains available for charter. Being based for these few months in Devon allows new waters to be explored. So, if the forecast is looking good, why not give us a call and arrange a short sail to Salcombe, Plymouth or Brixham?
For further details, please email us at info@traditional-sailing.com or call Stuart on 0845 034 5388.
