Since Topsail Charters was established in 1987 by Stephanie Valentine and Paul Jeffries, our belief has remained true that the best way to preserve sailing barges is to keep them working. Carrying passengers rather than coal, grain or straw, has ushered in a new era for barges and has helped ensure their survival. When they were built, few would have thought they would still be sailing into the 21st century.
