Amelie Rose and The Hungry Sailors - The Whole Story

As you may have noticed, over the next few weeks ITV1 are screening a new food travelogue series called "The Hungry Sailors" - starting at 4pm on Monday 16th January and continuing every weekday until the 17th February. The programme stars Dick & James Strawbridge and our very own Amelie Rose (with occasional walk-on parts played by skipper Nick and crew-mate Steve) on a cruise along the South coast.

But what was it like to be involved? Along the way Nick wrote a blog during the filming of each episode and we'll be publishing each entry on our website features section just before that show is due to air. By the 17th Feb this will have assembled into the full story of Amelie Rose and the Hungry Sailors. We hope you enjoy the blog, and the series, and don't forget - you too can sail aboard the Amelie Rose!

Pilot Cutter Amelie Rose Sailing Gift Vouchers

However you approach your Christmas shopping; fighting your way through busy high streets, getting lost in vast out of town shopping centres, or our favourite - firing up your internet browser, there's no escaping the Christmas present shopping list and it can be especially hard to find a special gift for the sailor in your family.

What better gift for the sailing enthusiast than an adventure aboard the Amelie Rose? On deck she's indistinguishable from a ship of Nelson's era but actually she's been custom built for charter. She's a replica of an Isles of Scilly Pilot Cutter from the 1850's - boats that were reknowned for their speed and seaworthiness. Sleeping up to 8 guests and crewed by a Master and Mate - just like the old days - Amelie Rose heads out from her home base in Poole Harbour on Adventures to the Isles of Scilly, Channel Islands, Brittany and closer to home along the Jurassic Coast to the West Country and Solent.

Pilot Cutter Amelie Rose Launches 2012 Schedule

With just three trips to go before we pack up Amelie Rose for the Winter our minds are turning to the exciting adventures that we have planned for 2012.

Our usual mix of Traditional Taster weekends, RYA courses and trips to the wonderful Isles of Scilly and Channel Islands will be crowned by an expedition to the fantastic Brest Festival 2012.

Biggest isn't always best mind and we'll also be visiting Fowey Classics - one of the friendliest festivals on the South Coast as well as playing with the rest of the Pilot Cutter fleet at the St Georges Cup in Yarmouth and the Pilot Cutter Review in St Mawes.
