What the crew have written ....

"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 phophorescent 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."

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 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."
Rowan and Paul

"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 on Trinovante recently afforded me chance to be reaquainted 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."
