Sail Lizzie May | A berth on Lizzie May could provide the perfect break for experienced and armchair sailors alike. Whether travelling solo or in company, experience sailing like it used to be in the golden age of seafaring. Imagine sailing in stunning locations in good company on a classic wooden boat that encourages kinship and creates lasting memories. Round off a full day of total release from the stresses of modern life with good food and a trip ashore, experiencing the quiet satisfaction that comes from having worked the boat to its destination, surely the best way to arrive. |
 | | Lizzie May Sailing Schedule 2012 |
|  | | For 2012 the scheduled sailing program includes a wide variety of voyages, from taster weekend cruises in the sheltered, beautiful and accessible waters of the Firth of Clyde, to week long cruises in more remote West Coast of Scotland waters. There are two sailing highlights in the 2012 programme: we will be sailing in company with the Scottish Gaffer fleet in August for the third successive year; and we will be taking Lizzie to the Brest and Douarnenez classic boat festivals in Brittany, which will be Lizzie May`s third appearance. If our published schedule does not fit perfectly with your plans, we can also tailor trips to meet group requirements, from day trips with groups of up to 10 to custom voyages. Call us to discuss your ideas. |

| | | Lizzie May, Scilly Isles Pilot Cutter |
|  | | "Arguably the most attractive of Luke Powell`s eye-catching series of modern, timber-built variations on Scillonian pilot cutters, Lizzie May, in larch on oak is the larger follow up to his Eve of St Mawes. Classic Boat February 2005. To lie among these timbers listening to the sea rushing past is to feel seafaring`s lost heartbeat." |
