The Picton Castle is a true working tall ship. Sail trainees participate fully in the ship's operation: handling sails, scrubbing the deck, taking a turn at the wheel,
raising anchor, hauling on lines, helping in the galley, going aloft (optional), and keeping lookout. There are training classes in seamanship and navigation,
plenty of opportunities to learn square-rig sailing and, on the world voyages, to explore exotic tropical ports and islands.
