"Food, laughter and space were all in generous
supply, as were the opportunities to learn as much
or as little as you chose. From idyllic anchorages
and dory outings to sailing through a phosphorescent
sea with more stars than I have ever seen, magical.
Thanks Su and John the tapestry of life is richer
for having sailed with you."
Adam
"I would recommend Trinovante as a good introduction
to sailing as crew on larger vessels .. Sue and John
are very keen to explain the workings of the ship.
The fact that they have designed and built Trinovante
themselves means that they don't just operate the
vessel but understand how it was put together and
how it works."
Sue
"Thanks for a fantastic holiday. Again!"
Tanya and Karell
"We had some beautiful sunsets in secluded anchorages,
lots of fun with a sprit rigged tender, great food,
good wine. Trinovante is about as distinctive a vessel
as you can imagine."

I just wanted to say a big thank you for making my
holiday such a memorable one! It was great to be sailing
again after all that time and I found that gradually
things came back to me and I felt more at ease, so
thanks for the encouragement.
I feel lucky to have met such a nice bunch of people,
everyone seemed to get on really well which was great.

Trinovante sailed onwards
over the moonlit sea, shooting stars above us, and
dolphins playing around the bows.

I've been meaning to write to you and say thanks
for a great weeks sailing for sometime. and your newsletter
finally prompted me do it.
.As I opened the envelope and saw the pictures my
face lit up as it brought back some wonderful memories
of a fantastic week. My wife said I was smiling like
a "silly school boy".
The friendly and relaxed atmosphere on board combined
with some excellent sailing, good food and company
made for a very memorable experience. The last day
in Plymouth sound, under full sail, tacking and jibing,
turned out to be the icing on the cake. I have to
say that I didn't want to leave but knew that I had
to go home and start earning brownie points for next
year!

What a great time I had with you and my fellow crew
members last weekend.
I really enjoyed being part of a small and friendly
group and being hands on with the sailing manoeuvres.

"What
immediately impressed me, the "yachtie", was
the space on board ...I found that the running of the
day to day sailing on board Trinovante much different
from my previous sails. I was used to, I suppose, a
more regimented watch bill. However, the relaxed running
of Trinovante was down to the obvious professionalism
of both John and Su. I enjoyed it. I look forward to
sailing on Trinovante again."

"We had a wonderful
week aboard Trinovante with you and the rest of the
crew. We felt very proud to be involved in taking a
beautiful schooner to a great sail festival such as
Sail Amsterdam. Many of the experiences of that week
will always be fondly remembered by the both of us."

"Its
an unproven but widely held belief that tea drunk al-fresco
tastes better than when taken in the comfort of indoors:
a week's voyage on a tall ship was all it took to convince
me that the same also holds true for a full English
breakfast! "

"Try to imagine nearly
sixty tall ships of varying shapes and sizes, four naval
ships and hundreds of other vessels of all descriptions
descending upon one small area of Amsterdam ..What an
incredible experience."

Sailing is
not just about the ocean, but also about departures
and arrivals.

"Sailing on
Trinovante recently afforded me chance to be reacquainted
with the excitement of Tall ship sailing... Su and John
are excellent teachers and hosts. After a week the rudiments
of working the rig and sails is easily grasped."

Thanks for a
fantastic week Bergen - Trondheim.
It is the skill of a successful host to take a gang
of disparate (desperate?) folk and turn them into a
group of friends - Well done!
We are thoroughly bitten by the bug and would
like to have another go next year
Chris and Alastair
Thanks for a truly memorable weekend! The sailing
experience and tuition were first class: I enjoyed the
companionship very much: all that under the leadership
of two people talented and thoroughly pleasant in equal
measure. It was a privilege. Thank you again. And the
megastar was Trinovante - what a ship!
