Get involved in the Vigilance Story NOW....
Discover a passion for Heritage Sailing.
Vigilance is a Brixham Trawler built at Upham’s Yard in Brixham in 1926 - she was the last one ever built. Having had a complete restoration, ready for her centenary, you can have an experience you will never forget by coming sailing on her in Torbay. If you would like to find out more about our sailing trips, please click the “book now” button below.
Vigilance is owned and run by a friendly team of volunteers. We are looking for more people to join our passionate team. We currently have opportunities for maintenance and restoration people, skippers, crew and back office people.
If you would like to find out more about getting involved please contact us here.
Alternatively, if time and sea legs are in short supply, you can donate by clicking the button below. Every penny raised from her sailing trips and donations goes towards securing the future of this very important vessel for future generations.
