You are going to spend the day as part of the crew sailing a magnificent 60 metre tall ship. During this Tall Ship Sailing experience in Hampshire, you will take part in hoisting the complex square-rigged sails (the mast is 45m tall!), helming the ship, hauling the ropes and even attempting the up and over.
For those who would rather sit back and take in the view there is plenty of room on deck. You can stand back and enjoy the sailing, be lookout on the bridge or even climb out onto the bowsprit for a closer look at the action. Your expert crew will make sure your day runs smoothly and will be on hand to answer any questions about the fascinating ship.

Please remember it is often colder out on the water than it is on land so you are advised to wear loose fitting casual clothes and bring extra layers. Dress appropriately for the weather on the day and bring the correct shoes - walking boots or shoes with ankle support and hard soles are ideal on the Tall Ship and soft-soled shoes (trainers are ideal) for the Challenger Yachts. Wet weather gear is provided on board if needed along with all safety equipment.
