Since her restoration the 1895 Brixham Trawler Pilgrim has sailed hard for twelve years, taking thousands of guests along the Devon and Cornwall coasts and further afield to the Solent, the Isles of Scilly, France and the Channel Islands. She will therefore be taking a well-deserved rest in 2025.

Pilgrim will be in Brixham through next summer for Open Days and other fund raising activities and will be getting a makeover to make sure she’s in good shape for 2026 and beyond. 

Donate for our new sails

Pilgrim is desperate for a new suite of sails. Please donate for our new sails. It will cost us £50,000 to replace them and we need your help to raise the money. Please help to keep Pilgrim sailing in 2026.
