Going to Sea in Style
The Sea has always held a fascination and thus sailing had an allure, but not simply dingy motoring or yachting about ~ oh no ~ when one of the two ship’s built to take disabled crew sailed into my home port I had to go take a look.
I was hooked, more than that I was booked! A one month voyage.
But this “Once in a lifetime, never to be repeated opportunity” was so exhilarating, it was repeated a further three times. On the right you will find my full and frank [dis]Able Sea Persons Twig’s for some of the voyages.
The Jubilee Sailing Trust was set up with a grant from the Queen Elizabeth II’s Silver Jubilee Trust in 1978. The Charitable Trust now has two purpose built square rigged ships taking a mix of ages, races and abilities out to see across the globe.
Sailing with them is one of the most exhilarating, exhausting, exciting, frightening, fabulous experiences ever.
