Events in the UK

Swallow is committed to a series of scheduled events, but is also available for 'private' sailing sessions. In 2011 and 2013 we managed to have Swallow visit a great deal of England; from Coniston to Chichester, Wales to the Broads. We wanted as many people as possible to get sailing wherever they lived.

Some years we choose a different tack - to keep Swallow in the Lake District, giving people a chance to see her in the perfect place. So many fans make a pilgrimage there, that we felt it would be lovely for them to be rewarded with an authentic sailing experience too..

Please contact us if you want to sail this year, or if you wish Swallow could visit your area in the future. If you get sailing, we ask that you make a donation in return.
