Designed and built by her current owners with safety in mind, Trinovante was launched in 1994.The boat carries all the usual safety equipment and is UK Marine and Coast Guard Agency coded for category 1.

The name Trinovante comes from the pre roman Celtic tribe who lived in Colchester Trinovante's home port

She is big enough for you to feel the thrill and excitement of sailing on a tall ship whilst still being small enough to take you to those out of the way places that most larger vessels can only dream of.

The three masted gaff rig is an absolute joy to sail with – whether you are an experienced sailor or an complete beginner this is a boat that simply invites you to get involved. The possibilities for different sail combinations are huge whilst keeping all the sails to a manageable size. It's a rig that is ideal for sail training. There is plenty for everyone to do and although you might initially feel like you are on a steep learning curve onboard the rig is relatively simple and by the end of the first week most people are getting to grips with it..

Down below Trinovante is fitted with a comfortable, warm, wood interior and solid fuel Rayburn. The crew accommodation forward has two double cabins, one single cabin and a communal four berth area with bunks.
The engine and two toilets are amidships

The saloon is situated aft. No one is expected to sleep in the saloon. This works really works well for a happy social crew.

Guest numbers are limited to eight for voyages and 12 for day sails.
