Learn to manage the force of nature through a sailing adventure at sea



Eleanor Mary is a gaff-rigged sailing cutter, 52 feet long on deck and 70 feet from the tip of her bowsprit to the flagstaff on her stern.

Based on the pilot cutters of the Bristol Channel, the aristocrats of fore-and-aft working sail at the start of the 20th century, she reflects generations of development to make sure she sails fast and keeps her crew safe and comfortable at sea.  She is designed to 'look after her crew' in all weathers.

She is equally at home sailing to Brittany with a small group of friends on board or taking half a dozen youngsters on a Tall Ships race around the Atlantic Ocean.  David Darbyshire, her owner and captain, will be glad to welcome you aboard.
