Winter Maintenance onboard Pelican of London

Thank you all for your amazing interest in volunteering on Pelican during the upcoming maintenance period! We've received an incredible number of applications, so please bear with us as we get back to each of you.
We still have limited spots available in October, mainly between October 10th - October 20th.
Our maintenance period in Barrow-in-Furness is now extended until March 19th 2025, with plenty of opportunities to get involved.
Tasks Include:
  • Rigging & Sails: We’re looking for volunteers comfortable working aloft, as well as proficient individuals for rig blacking and serving.
  • Rust Removal & Painting: There’s plenty of chipping, needle gunning, rust removal, and painting to be done.
  • Small Repairs: Assist with fitting hooks, hinges, and other minor fixtures around the ship.
General DIY Skills: Help with tasks such as cleaning, galley assistance, managing incoming goods, and local driving (for those with access to a vehicle).
We also welcome volunteers with Food Safety & Hygiene Level 2 certification.
Accommodation and catering will be provided.
Pathway to Volunteer Crew: Your commitment as a maintenance volunteer offers priority for future sailing voyages as part of the volunteer crew. There will also be opportunities for shakedown voyages and volunteer training, perfect for those looking to enhance their skills.
