The ship will feed your historical inquisitions about adventure on the waves; Classic Yacht TV found she is a hearty ship that keeps you warm and safe, that down-below she retains a homely feel and that you'll find you won't chase the wildlife. It comes to you -- we filmed it! The ship carries up to 12 guests and her crew are very friendly and enthusiastic about the traditions and adventure that come hand in hand with Bessie Ellen. Cruising grounds in her virtue range from the west coast of Scotland and Ireland, the English Riviera -- Cornish and Devon coasts. She also ventures to the coasts of Europe and the Canary Islands. Classic Yacht TV joined her in Fowey and sailed east, to Plymouth and then onto Falmouth. On board, there was as much to do or as little do as one wanted. Sails were filled never-the-less, guests were on the helm, and some where practising navigation. There was a sense that binoculars had to be within a seconds reach to spot the wildlife for some guests while others were offered chances of climbing the rigging, or reading a book in a cosy cabin. The excitement and prospect of experiencing something that's happening all around you, all the time you're on the Bessie Ellen is something people find perpetually exhilarating. There certainly wasn't a moment that looked like the crew and host had to find something to occupy the guests with. Rather the charter seemed it could be as relaxing or as thrilling as you'd like. Hot showers leave you feeling rejuvenated and delicious food is on demand; cooked by the chef on board, Peter Thompson, who uses local ingredients in a wealth of recipes. Owned and skippered by Nikki Alford, you'll find that while you're on board this wonderful traditional sailing ship there is a deep sense of heritage ingrained in the ship and in Nikki's approach to chartering. It is Bessie Ellen's history that will enchant you, from the story of her build and the era of which she was conceived there are a host of stories that can be told if you're interested. Classic Yacht TV found that while we anchored off ancient fishing villages like Polperro, Bessie Ellen's story came alive in your imagination. Nikki found Bessie Ellen in 2000, and having worked on a range of ships as well as retaining knowledge and enthusiasm for maritime history, Nikki has restored this small Tall Ship for prosperity, knowing the offered experience of sailing her is a rarity. This film concentrates on insights in to what Bessie Ellen offers, and explores Nikki's aspirations of sharing the experience of sailing the ship. Her aim she says is to "experience not only sailing and the magic of wooden ships, but also the beauty of the sea and what that can offer -- challenges and personal goals, also achievements for people who have never stepped on a ship before."
