Biography
Blue Clipper is the newest addition to the Maybe Sailing fleet. On board Blue Clipper, you’ll experience sail training with an edge of luxury. A very comfortable ship to sail, with plenty of comfortable places to relax and enjoy your voyage. When you step on board you immediately become a member of the crew, and are involved in every aspect of life on board, from hoisting sails, steering the ship, keeping watch and helping out in the galley. You may join TS Blue Clipper not knowing anybody else, but you’ll leave as part of the family.
At Maybe Sailing, we have our own sail training programme, which our experienced crew will help you work through on your voyage. This includes everything from hoisting sails, trimming sails, steering the ship and navigating, to learning basic sailing knots and learning about the weather. Your voyage always begins with safety briefs and deck briefs, so you understand all the emergency procedures on board. At Maybe Sailing, we are also a registered RYA training school, so can provide Start Yachting, Competent Crew, and Watch Leader qualifications. You can also complete your shore-based theory qualifications with us! We are also a registered Activity Provider for DofE, and you can complete your DofE Gold Residential on board TS Blue Clipper.
