Voyage Information:

AJ 801:  Annabel J often operates with a volunteer Mate.  To this end we offer training voyages to train/select suitable candidates.  Initially, formal qualifications are not required, just a love of sailing and an ability to get on with people.  When suitably experienced, a volunteer Mate can benefit from 1/2 price voyages.

3 Day long Weekend Voyages:    Get a taste of Sailing this beautiful Pilot Cutter in the relative shelter of the Solent and South Coast.  Explore the quaint harbours of the Isle of Wight and the sheltered anchorages.  During the 3 day voyage we will take you as far as Poole or Weymouth, weather permitting.  The main aim of these voyages is to provide a relaxing, enjoyable and exciting short break on one of the most luxurious and beautiful classic yachts on the South Coast.  These voyages are very suitable for novices due to the sheltered waters, but also due to the strong tides and shallow banks, remain a challenge to the seasoned sailor.

AJ 803 Women's only voyage:  Ladies - if you would prefer to be with an all female crew, we have reserved this weekend voyage for you.  Unfortunately, we don't have a female Skipper yet, but the yacht has separate accommodation for the Skipper and his wife.

AJ 806 & 810  Coastal Cruises.  Great for those who like to get the miles in.  These voyages will involve watch keeping; night sailing and full involvement in running the ship.  Ideal for sailing and navigation practice.  We aim to make at least 2 stops along the Coast.

AJ 808  Isles of Scilly and Cornwall.  Enjoy the Scillies and Cornish coast; wildlife & fabulous scenery on one of the largest and most luxurious Pilot Cutters.  6 days of pure enjoyment!

AJ 809  Annabel J returns again to the Pilot Cutter World Championship Regatta.  As well as the spectacular racing in St Mawes, the 2008 event has been expanded to include a reception Barbecue in Fowey and a Passage race from Fowey to St Mawes. Click here to view photographs of last year's event.

AJ 811 & 812  The Brest and Douarnenez Festivals.  Every 4 Years, Brittany is host to this spectacular event as only France can do it.  Enjoy cruising in company to Brest; the festival; cruise to Douarnenez and the Douarnenez Festival.

AJ 814 Channel Isles and Normandy Adventure:  As soon as initial briefings are completed, you will set sail on the first leg of the voyage.  This will be to a suitable night anchorage to be ready for an early start the next morning for the Channel crossing.  The aim of the first leg is familiarisation and to save time on the first morning on the voyage South.  There will be an early start on the 2nd day and you will be hoisting sails as the sun rises - possible destinations: Honfleur, Alderney or StVaast.  During the crossing you will experience all aspects of running the ship - steering, hoisting sails, navigating, watch keeping and helping to prepare meals.  The Channel Isles and North coast of France are a real jewel and have mostly remained unspoilt by the bustle of modern life.  Enjoy the sandy beaches of Alderney, the fantastic Channel Isles seafood, the quaint French cafes and markets - just slow down and soak up the atmosphere.  These voyages are also suitable for novices.  Annabel J is a very large yacht, forgiving, reassuring and extremely seaworthy.
