Captain and Crew
Captain Rob Hickman began sailing at Pangbourne College - a former naval military training school for officers entering the merchant navy.

Rob has been fully involved with the restoration of Halcyon from the start of the project.

Mate Annette Corder. A former London economist - Annette has been involved in water sports from an early age. As she is a qualified RYA Cruising, Powerboat and Windsurfing Instructor she can help you have fun on Halcyon’s full range of boats.

First rate chef – CV and menu choices available on request
Charter Fees: For full details of what is included for individual and group bookings contact Classic Sailing
Involvement: With 3 crew on board, not everybody will be needed to sail the boat so you can just enjoy the scenery or relax below. There will be more labour intensive moments on this traditionally rigged thoroughbred and those that want to join in will be welcomed with open arms; the more you do the more you will enjoy the sailing.
