Ask a Skipper

There are four skippers that work mostly in the office. When not in the office they will probably be sailing.

Becky

Seen here sailing on Eve in Cornwall knows about the following vessels - Leader in Scotland, Bessie Ellen and Agnes in Cornwall, Grayhound in Brittany, Pegasus from Plymouth, Trading Ketch Irene and Lord Nelson in the English Channel. Becky has also been sailing with Oosterschelde round the Cape Verde Islands. Her Day Skipper course was completed on Golden Vanity and she plans to cross the Atlantic from Cape Verde to Barbados with her brother over Christmas this year with Blue Clipper! 

Melissa

The newest recruit to the office has skippered Eve, Agnes, Moosk and Golden Vanity and also been mate and relief skipper on Eda Fandsen. Shes also sailed on Grayhound in Canaries and Cape Verde. Shes looking forward to getting experience on the larger ships but also getting out on the water as much as possible on all of the boats.

Debbie

As a cofounder of Classic Sailing Debbie has heaps of experience of many vessels and has sailed in all the Oceans from Antarctica to Greenland and points in between. She is a Yacht Master Instructor and loves messing about in the small boats and up the rigging on tall ships. As an artist, she has a good eye for an excellent photo many of which aid our website.

Adam

Adam is pleased that Classic Sailing has a brilliant young team so that he can retire in 2019.
