Tall Ship Sailing Experience. Here’s a fantastic opportunity to sail on board a tall ship and to experience life on board one of these magnificent ships. The term ‘Tall Ship ‘ is an all-embracing name given to any traditionally rigged sailing vessel. It covers a wide variety of vessels from a small cutter with one mast to a fully rigged ship with three or more masts.

Agenda:
Joining the ship at 10 am you will be welcomed on board with coffee and biscuits. Following a safety briefing the ship will then head out into the Solent and will start to hoist some sails. The crew will be glad of your help with the sails and helming and they will be pleased to explain the ship’s rigging and construction. But if you prefer to just sit back and relax our catering team will be at your service. A buffet lunch and afternoon tea will be served during the day and a pay bar is available on board. The ship will return to port at 5pm.
