Season's greetings from Pilot Cutter Amelie Rose and everyone at Topsail Adventures

It's been an incredible year of fun and adventure aboard Amelie Rose, with many new friends joining our happy family and the welcome return of many old hands.

On the mainland the summer was apparently awful - and we've seen our share of interesting conditions this year, but fading suntans remind us that there were many lovely days too. Through it all Amelie Rose has performed brilliantly, keeping her crews safe and comfortable as we've adventured far and wide; enjoying awesome events, intriguing new destinations and some of the best sailing we've encountered to date.

Along the way we visited the astounding Brest and Douarnenez Festivals, broken speed records and Amelie Rose even found the time to become a TV Star as last years exploits with the Hungry Sailors finally hit our screens back in January.

Amelie Rose launches 2013 Calendar

It's that time of year again; the telly is jammed with adverts for perfume and children's toys, cheesy carols assault the senses as we struggle to negotiate the high street and Amelie Rose has released her annual Calendar.

Over 2000 votes came pouring in with the winner receiving over 350 "likes" and five of the candidates garnering more than 100 recommendations.

Amelie Rose in Classic Boat Articles and Awards

We were recently contacted by our friends at Classic Boat who were keen both to find award sponsors for their 2013 Awards and also to follow up on their original article about the Amelie Rose.

At Topsail Adventures we've always had a thing about the importance of re-connecting folks with the Uk's incredible sailing heritage. It's why we do what we do. So we were pleased as punch to get involved in both the awards and follow-up article.
