Classic Sailing Adventures with Nature Brochure

Classic Sailing offers hands-on traditional sailing voyages where guests become the working crew aboard a remarkable variety of vessels, experiencing travel under sail as it was meant to be.

Hands-On Traditional Sailing

On a Classic Sailing voyage you become the crew on a fleet of traditionally rigged vessels. Because these ships use blocks and tackles and human power to set sail, every voyage is a genuinely hands-on experience.

The range of vessels includes:

• Brigs and barques
• Schooners
• Pilot cutters
• Historic trading ships
• Rowing boats

Anyone Can Sail

Classic Sailing has never aimed its adventure holidays exclusively at experienced sailors, having introduced thousands of people to sailing and travel under sail. The specialist tall ships Tenacious and Lord Nelson allow those with disabilities to sail as crew, while challenging voyages remain available for those already hooked on life at sea.

Community of the Sea

Living aboard a boat with people from all walks of life seems to bring out the best in human nature. With Classic Sailing, communal living is regarded as a strength of the holidays rather than a lapse in luxury.
