Sailing Days at The Pier
We are delighted to be able to offer you the chance to sail on the rivers Stour and Orwell. The Pier has teamed up with Blue Baker Yachts and the Bona to offer you two completely different sailing experiences!
The Bona is a Bawley – a wooden type of fishing smack – and is one of the few remaining boats of this type still in use. Built in 1903 in Brightlingsea (she’s a real ‘Essex Girl!’) her original occupation was towing a trawl for shrimps in the Thames Estuary. She now offers all the comforts associated with a modern yacht but still captures the nostalgia of bygone days. The Milsom Hotels teams use her every year and we’ve had some memorable days sailing. The Bona can take up to 10 people.
Blue Baker Yachts can offer plenty of choice from a fleet of seven yachts that are ideal for either leisure or corporate sailing. Blue Baker offer hassle free sailing for both competent sailors and those with no sailing knowledge at all.
