Last month, Drifter was issued with her Maritime and Coastguard certificate, which is a mandatory document for carrying passengers. This shows that the vessel meets or exceeds very strict safety requirements. We worked with a Dutch surveyor over many months, discussing the best ways to implement the requirements in a sympathetic manner and the result is that Drifter has fully retained its beauty and charm, whilst becoming a fully certified vessel for carrying between 6-8 passengers under sail.
One of our very first trips was very exciting. It was a very special day, not only for Drifter which looked spectacular dressed with bunting, but also for the bride and groom who sailed with us from Mylor church to Trelissick. We send our very best wishes to the lovely couple.
The day could not have been more perfect with bright sunshine and gentle breezes. Mylor Yacht Harbour were kind enough to allow us to use a section of dock adjacent to their office and ramp, allowing all the guests a spectacular vantage point as the couple sailed away. Soon after departing they received great photos from their friends, saying how ‘cool’ they looked. And yes, is was very cool indeed and we had a great time sailing with them before dropping them off again at Trelissick to continue their celebrations.
