Rummage through our Christmas treasure chest below of over 20 new gifts and help Nancy Blackett keep sailing.
We have new gifts to suit everyone, and all proceeds go to support our work to keep Nancy Blackett as a historic working ship, as original as possible, and accessible for anyone to visit or sail.
It costs the Nancy Blackett Trust many thousands of pounds each year to keep Nancy Blackett afloat, and, particularly at this time of year, our Shop is a major contributor to our fundraising efforts.
So, please, buy one of our new Christmas gifts (or, even better, several!) from our Shop below, and not only will you be helping Nancy Blackett to last forever, but you’ll be treating yourself or a loved one to something unique at the same time:
Those Kids Series by Jon Tucker
On offer: 1 for £10, 2 for £19, 3 for £27, 4 for £36, 5 for £45.
Jon Tucker’s breezy Ransome-inspired ‘Those Kids’ books are all about showing that modern youngsters can still find adventure camping and sailing when their parents give them a little trust and freedom - and now they’re available here.
Set in various locations around the coasts of Australia and New Zealand, they follow broadly the same group of characters. There are plenty of Ransome references, for those who like to spot them, but Jon has his own storytelling style, and these are modern kids, in a modern society, mobile phones and all!
Jon himself is a Kiwi ex-teacher who, with his wife Barbara, live aboard their ketch New Zealand Maid.
Meet Jake, Jess and Fin, and their cousins Tania and Zac. Pirate fantasies with a home-built dinghy get overtaken by real-life perils. “An uplifting tale of youthful naivety, friendship, calamity and triumph”.
Those Shipwreck Kids
The discovery of a hastily-abandoned campsite presents the Kids with a mystery that has an underlying environmental twist.
Those Eco-Pirate Kids

Those Sugar-Barge Kids
When Jake, Jess and Fin encounter two initially-hostile home-educated live-aboard sisters in a mangrove swamp it sets the scene for one of their more unusual adventures.
