Loading ...In 2010 The Training Ship Pelican will be setting sail with a packed programme of exciting adventures including the Tall Ships Races in July & August.
The TS Pelican’s home port of Weymouth is located on the beautiful Jurassic Coast which stretches from Exmouth, Devon through to Swanage, Dorset, England’s first natural World Heritage Site. All voyages not only take in the breath taking beauty of the coastline but will also view the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy which will host the 2012 Olympic Sailing competition. All voyages aboard the Pelican are one of challenge and discovery as well as relaxation and good living.
The traditional square rigger TS Pelican is privately owned and now newly restored captures the true spirit and soul of a small and elegant clipper designed for adventure. Setting eleven sails as a ‘Mainmast Barquentine’ make her lively and fast both on and off the wind. The 2010 programme includes a variety of day sails at £89, 4 day channel voyages from £399 and the Tall Ships Races which are now available at discounted rates for under 24’s.
Discounts and Bursaries for the Tall Ships Races in July & August 2010 are available from the Pelican Partnership charity for young people under the age of 24. Up to 50% off fees may be available from the Pelican Partnership Charity – please call the office for details. 01305 839476
