Pelican of London is a unique Tall Ship, actively chartering to a Sail Training organisation and giving young and old the opportunity to work a real sailing ship. Originally an Arctic trawler, she was virtually completely rebuilt and converted to her current form and re-launched in 2007.
She cruises under sail at 10+ knots and her unique Mainmast Barquentine (Xebec/Polacre) sail plan enables her to sail to windward much better than other similar ships.
Taken from her sales particulars, she is currently on passage past Jersey on her way to St. Malo presumably for the start of the Tall Ships race this week.
