Biography

PELICAN OF LONDON is unique among Square Riggers. Her hull form was derived from the elite French clippers of the late 19th century, with a length to breadth ratio of 5:1, a flared bow, fine entry and run. A long poop deck has been added which provides exceptional space and comfort for worldwide operation.

Her exclusive rig generates twice her engine power and yet it is handy and easily adapted to extreme conditions. She is still family size at 45M (150 ft) LE.

In this total reconstruction only the superb hull of the original 1946 PELICAN remains. New bulkheads, new decks, stainless tanks and pipe work, everything is built to the very exacting standards of the latest “Code of Practice for the Safety of Large Commercial Sailing Vessels”.

PELICAN has been designed principally as a sail training ship, but is capable of many different roles world-wide.

Sail training on board Pelican includes tasks which will enable you to acquire skills far beyond sailing. You will begin by undergoing safety training on board, before helping the ship to depart her berth. You and your watch will then work with your watchleader and watchkeeper to take the helm, keep a look-out, navigate the ship to her destination, pull on ropes, and heave mooring lines. You'll learn to use a harness safely and climb the rigging, adjust and stow sails, complete night watches, help in the galley – even scrub the decks! Outcomes include improved teamwork, leadership, self-confidence, motivation, problem-solving, and many, many more.
