Curly Quill (Bosun)

Curly Quill (Bosun)

Our Bosun writes with a fair fist, and a half decent foot. He has given his life to the sea, as well as most of his breakfast when it's wind over tide...

Albert Truss (Oarsman)

With the strength of two men and the thirst of ten, Albert has been known to pull three oars in a single passage. That was a night to remember...

Cameron Nails (Carpenter)

Cameron Nails (Carpenter)

Built like a sturdy English oak, Cameron is virtually indistinguishable from his usual surroundings in the broad waist of the ship.

Wayne (The Anchorman)

The Seven Seas, The Bounding Maine, The Proud Ship, The Stiff Breeze, The Twisted Bollard, The Pair of Rowlocks, The Rusty Bucket, The Comely Wench...there is not a single ale house in the world that this old sea dog hasn't frequented.
Wayne (The Anchorman)
Seymour Cleavage (First Mate)

Seymour Cleavage (First Mate)

With his hand on the wheel and his foot in the door, his head in the clouds and his eye on the weather, Seymour has no idea where we are or where we've been. He has the heart of a poet and the legs of a parrot.

Sirius Erra (Ship's Navigator)

Where would our brave and lusty crew be without the offices of our Navigator? On course, probably. One of the only educated members of the ship's company, his school report for Geography states: "He does well to find his way home...".
Sirius Erra (Ship's Navigator)
Abner Clew (Leadsman)

Abner Clew (Leadsman)

Having been born at a very young age, Abner has always been good at throwing things, progressing from tantrums to caution-to-the-wind. Known far and wide for his taradiddles, his ability to swing the lead has become almost legendary.

Terry Firma (Unable Seaman)

Press-ganged into service and dragged kicking and screaming from his flower arranging circle and baking guild, Terry is a committed land lubber who has yet to find his sea legs, or his water wings...
Terry Firma (Unable Seaman)
Sam Minella (Ship's Cook)

Sam Minella (Ship's Cook)

What this man can do with a couple of spuds and a sausage is the stuff of legend. Together with his wife, Liz Teria, he spreads happiness, humour and helpless heaving wherever he picks up a pan.

Alfredo Heights (Ship's Lookout)

Of Spanish extraction (and English insertion) this Spaniard with the lanyard experiences dizzy spells, hot flushes and shortness of breath the moment he sets foot on the rigging. Such simple pleasures should not be taken for granted on a long voyage...
Alfredo Heights (Ship's Lookout)
Ian Ormus (Loblolly Boy)

Ian Ormus (Loblolly Boy)

He stands over a fathom deep and is built like a wheelhouse, which makes assisting the surgeon and serving slop to the sick a little awkward down below. He may not be well known elsewhere but Ian is huge in Devon ...

And we acknowledge with gratitude the support of our fantastic "Ladies Who Launch", who help us in so many ways. Click here to see the mysterious Helen.
