the expression of interest form shared earlier this week


There are 12 places available for this year's Tall Ships Expedition aboard Leader


Route: Belfast to Dublin


Dates: 3rd – 9th April 2023


You will experience our beautiful coastline from a different perspective. Hopefully see our

wonderful sea life, Dolphins swimming alongside, whales in the distance. Experience amazing sunrises

and sunsets.


You will get to climb the rigging, hoist sails, navigate, drive the ship, sail through the night and work alongside the professional crew.


Leader is rigged as she would have been when first built, as a gaff ketch. She is 80′ (24m) long on deck, and 105′ (32m) overall. She displaces about 110 tonnes in sailing trim. She has a beam of 19’6" (5.9m) and a draft of 10′ (3m). Leader represents the Brixham design at its peak.


Down below, Leader has been fitted out for her modern role. She has accommodation for twelve trainees and five crew, a large saloon area, a galley, showers, heads a generator that supplies a ring main with 240v electricity and a well-equipped nav station with modern navigation equipment including Radar, GPS and DSC VHF Radio.


Cost: €800 per person (all inclusive food and accommodation)


Deposit €200 when booking
