Come Sailing on Pelican
Friday 28 May to Tuesday 1 June
After last year when we had no club charters at all we are arranging a block booking of a number of berths on the mainmast barquentine Pelican. We shall join the ship in Weymouth on the evening of Friday 28 with a view to sailing early next morning heading across Channel, weather conditions permitting, with a destination in Brittany or Normandy depending on wind direction. It is planned to return to Weymouth in the late afternoon/early evening of Tuesday 1 June. The cost is £399 all found, but does not include any food on the Friday evening.
Bring your own sleeping-bags, pillow-cases and wet-weather gear, but the accommodation is in bunks, not pipe-cots! This is a great opportunity for members to get together to sail on Britain’s most recently commissioned square-rigger, and we can offer members a 5% discount on the cost provided we get at least 10 bookings.
The voyage is already being advertised to the public so please contact Tim
info@marinersinternational.org as soon as possible if you are interested and we will send you the booking application forms. An initial deposit of £100 will be required.
Further details of the ship are available on the website www.adventureundersail.com
