Vessel Description

Tenacious is a three-masted barque tall ship operated by the Jubilee Sailing Trust, a UK-based charity dedicated to promoting inclusion at sea. She is specifically designed and built to enable people of all physical abilities, including wheelchair users and those with a range of disabilities, to sail alongside able-bodied crew members. The vessel incorporates extensive accessibility features throughout, including wheelchair-accessible decks, adapted rigging stations, Braille signage, and specially designed crew accommodation. Tenacious is one of the largest wooden tall ships in the world and is constructed primarily from Douglas fir and iroko hardwoods. She operates as both a voyage vessel and an ambassador for inclusive adventure, conducting tall ship voyages across the North Atlantic and European waters throughout the sailing season.
