Just one thing though, surely re: the crew, it should be ‘ brawny ‘ not ‘ scrawny’ ? !

This endeavour may never make them wealthy, but if it makes them happy and demonstrates that this type of merchant sailing still has a place in the world, then I wish them the greatest success! Fair winds and following seas, my friends!

What a great idea to stimulate trade. I wish New Dawn Traders the very best of luck and shall keep a firm land lubbers eye out for the Gallant on my frequent crossings of the Bridge by car

I love stories of the sea and sailing, my favourite book of all time is Riddle of the Sands, and this makes me feel, like you, that I would love to stow away. Congratulations to all those responsible for dreaming it up and putting it into practice and thank you GA for bringing it to us. Magical. May they all have many more happy and safe voyages.

Even though Deal isn’t very big or has a harbour it is part of the Cinque group and has a fleet of fishing boats like Hastings on the shingle.
