VIGILANCE EVENTS

This page gives details of forthcoming sailings and other events and is updated regularly.

Unless Vigilance is on charter, we normally have a 1000 hrs sailing on Sundays and also an evening sail on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from Easter till September. Visitors are welcome on all sailings except those marked private. Charters are available at any mutually convenient date.

For brevity, Visitor sailings are only listed for a few weeks ahead. Please enquire if you would like to book in advance.
