Traditional Sailing on Morwenna

Exploring the Channel Islands and Brittany

What started as an idea for a long weekend to Cherbourg and back has evolved into a longer, and altogether more exciting, trip. Departing Southampton on Saturday, 12th May we are now planning (due to a special request) a two week trip down to the Channel Islands and beyond.

We expect to be paying a visit to not just Guernsey and Jersey, but also a number of the small attractive ports along the Breton coastline, so make sure you remember your passport. A fortnight will give us plenty of time to explore the beautiful coastline, add some valuable sea miles to your log and discover peaceful coves in which to anchor.

So, don't delay. Give Stuart a call on 0845 034 5388, or send an email to info@traditional-sailing.com to discover more about our recession beating price for this trip and to confirm your booking.

Round the Island

This year, one of the world's largest yacht race takes place on 30th June. You can be one of the estimated 16,000 sailors competing by taking up one of the last remaining places onboard Morwenna. Join the rest of the crew on Thursday evening ahead of our practice day on the Friday. We have our placed booked in Cowes for Friday night ahead of the 60 mile race on Saturday. Be part of the party on Saturday night in Cowes before a gentle return to Southampton on Sunday, 1st July.

We have only a few places remaining for this event at £495 per person, which includes three nights aboard, your wet weather clothing and safety equipment, all onboard food and our fully qualified skipper and mate to guide you around the island.

To make your booking, email us at info@traditional-sailing.com or call Stuart on 0845 034 5388.

Recession Busting Sail

In mid June we need to move Morwenna quickly from Plymouth to Poole. For this quick dash up the Channel we require crew to act in watches overnight. So, we are offering the chance to gain some valuable sea miles on an overnight passage for just £30. Leaving Plymouth on Thursday, 14th June and aiming to be in Poole by the morning of Saturday, 16th June. Can there be a better deal around?

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.

Yachtmaster Training

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.

Is Traditional Sailing For You?

Traditional sailing is for everyone. In putting together our programme for 2011 we tried to offer variety that will allowed sailors of any age, experience or ability to 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.
