 Sailing Programme

Endeavour has been invited to the Chatham Historic Ships Rally on 26th June when a whole flotilla of vessels will be gathering. It will be a great event and the possibility exists to either go over with Endeavour or return with her - please note your interest on the Sailing Form.
"What's that down there?" Restorers, electrician and Mike King discuss what needs to be done at the Brightlingsea winter site

August 23 Leigh Fishing Festival based around Bell Wharf/Victoria Wharf in Old Leigh

 Spring is Sprung, The Grass is Riz,' I Wonder Where Endeavour Is?

She's back in Leigh after her winter tidy up, all ready for the sailing season. Some work was undertaken by her restorers Brian and Shaun, with much painting and varnishing by Finlay Marshall, who also acted as crew when our sailing secretary Jeremy Squier moved her to and from Brightlingsea. 
 
So she is ready for you to see and possibly have a trip on her. The sailing programme is noted elsewhere in the newsletter, but she will probably be available at many other times. 
 
We can only advise you of availability if you let us know that you want to experience Endeavour under way. To register your interest, please complete the sailing form. We will contact you when a suitable occasion arises.
