Classic Boat has teamed up with the
Cornish Maritime Trust to offer one lucky
reader a sailing trip on board the 1881
fishing boat Barnabas. Details of the
winner’s voyage can be organised direct
with the Trust, but there are day sails
available throughout August in Cornwall
and the boat visits various West Country
ports over the season.
Founded in 1994, the Trust has four historic working vessels,
which have been restored to sailing condition:
Barnabas, a lug rigged mackerel driver based in Mousehole
Soft Wing, a gaff-rigged oyster dredger based in Falmouth
Ellen, a sprit-rigged Gorran Haven crabber
Sea Urchin, a small replica of the Ellen, based in Mousehole.Between them they demonstrate the most important rigs used in
the 19th century Cornish fishing industry, each with specific
advantages for the type of fishing it was designed for.
Trust members sail the boats. Membership is £25 per year.To enter visit classicboat.co.uk/barnabas
