How can you be a Pirate, if you don't know how to sail, better learn to swim too, or at least practise the art of floating? Whatever, back to the sailing, no doubt you can find plenty of places around our coast where you will learn how to sail. However, would it not just be great to have a Sail Training Tall Ship as many countries do, not least similar to Ireland's ASGARD II, this is something I am strongly in favour of and shall be promoting much more from time to time. .
