⚓ Sunbeam: Summer Sailing in Scandinavia⚓ Heritage Lowestoft trawler 'Sunbeam' has been based in Sweden since 1937. In 1961 she was purchased by a group of marine botany researchers for use as a research expedition vessel. The organisation they formed still owns Sunbeam today, and the ship remains a research vessel, undertaking just a handful of charter voyages in the summer. These trips, week-long forays through the endlessly explorable Stockholm Archipelago, are glorious summer holidays. Laid

The Colchester smack Ellen CK222, also known as the three swans, sailing in the River Colne. Shes recently been relaunched after another refit at a local yard in Brightlingsea. Normally sporting a topmast, to ease her back into sailing shes being sailed polemasted. She was originally built in Rowhedge in 1900 by the Harris brothers and with a cutaway forefoot she was perfect for stowboating and dredging for oysters. Nowadays shes sailed for fun and is also now engineless. #ellen #ck222 #harris #
