Schoonersail will make every effort not to change or cancel any advertised voyage. However reasons beyond our control including, but not limited to, unsuitable weather can make this necessary. Therefore ports of joining, leaving and ports of call cannot be and are not guaranteed. Sea mileage given in this itinerary is an estimate.

You must have a good level of fitness to sail on Trinovante. You are booking a voyage on a sail training type vessel not a ferry a cruise or a 'coach trip on a boat' experience'. Rough weather can be encountered on any voyage or taster weekend. You will be participating fully in all aspects of sailing as an active member of the crew. Trinovante operates on a 24hour watch system on all voyages over 10 hours and you will be expected to stand watches. You must be able to climb a 5 metre vertical ladder unaided (you are not expected to work aloft but you will have to negotiate dock side ladders pictures here on our FAQS page and feel confident to jump down from a height of 0.6 metre (2 feet). As a general guideline a good level of agility is much more important than overall physical strength or aerobic fitness. Many of the places on the itineraries are very remote and well off the beaten track.There are few marina type facilities with gangways and pontoons etc. Berthing is often in commercial docks and alongside quays and you may have to climb over other vessels to get ashore.

If you are in any doubt as to the suitability, or what to expect, from any one of our voyages do give us a ring on the boat phone and have a chat. You will be talking to the skipper or mate who sail onboard in these waters every year and can tell you exactly what is involved.

Do be clear that Trinovante is not a 'pull on a rope if you want to' tall ship. You are booking a full participation sailing holiday.
