About Us
'Maybe' is a traditional Dutch sailing ketch, launched in 1933 and was designed for round the world cruising. In recent years she has been completely restored by her current owner and returned to sailing in 2007.
‘Maybe’ took part in the first ever Tall Ships Race in 1956. She made a successful return to the Tall Ships Races in 2009 in the Baltic’s and completed a full schedule of Tall Ships Races and Regattas during 2010. ‘Maybe’ underwent a further facelift to transform her back to her former glory, sailing with an original gaff rig again by the 2011 sailing season.
Maybe Sailing offers sailing voyages from short sails of 1-4 days to longer sails including taking part in the prestigious Tall Ships Races annually. When ‘Maybe’ is in the UK she is based on the East Coast of Yorkshire but spends several months of the season sailing in European waters.
We offer sail training opportunities for trainee crew of all ages but strongly believe in the benefits sail training has as a role in youth development. Our aim is to provide many young people, aged 25 years old and under, with an unforgettable sailing experience where they can develop valuable life skills.
‘Maybe’ has the capacity for 16 crew members on each voyage which includes 3-4 permanent crew and 12 places for trainee crew members. She has extensive comfortable accommodation below deck which has been newly refurbished.

Extended report on the adventures of Maybe as she took part in the Tall Ships Races 2011. Read of her travels sailing through Waterford, Greenoch, the Orkney Islands, LamLash, Tobermory, Stornoway, Scarpa Flow, Lerwick, Kvitsoy, Halmstad and many other places.
Maybe sailed from Greenock to Oban last week, stopping off at the Isles of Arran and Gigha and travelling through the Corryvreckan! All the crew enjoyed this short journey as they took in some of the most beautiful scenery in the UK. The west coast of Scotland is breathtaking for the landscape and abundant wildlife.
‘Maybe’ sails from Hartlepool up the East coast of England and Scotland, across the Caledonian Canal and across the West coast of Scotland to Greenock during August and September 2011.
