Dear Member,
After the success of last years event, we are pleased to offer the opportunity to for the Club and its members to support the Tall Ships Youth Trust once again in one of its winter fund-raising challenges.
On the weekend of Friday 15th to Sunday 17th March, the Tall Ships will be holding a Round the Island challenge on their 72ft Challenger yachts. We have been offered the opportunity for the MPSC to enter a crew for one of these yachts before the Trust goes out to the ‘wider world’.
If we can fill a boat (Skipper and 1st Mate will be provided by the Trust) with a crew of 12, then the cost would be £245 per person which includes insurance. If we cannot fill the boat, then we would have the opportunity to enter a split crew with other individuals / organisations.

What's included.
Full weekend based on teams of 12 Includes:
▪ Three days sailing on a 72ft Challenger yacht
▪ Professional TSYT sailing staff; Skipper and First Mate, who will support your team throughout the weekend
▪ All food and refreshments on board
▪ Saturday evening dinner at the Island Sailing Club, Cowes
▪ Full sailing and wet weather safety gear
▪ Berthing
▪ Insurance
All details of the event are available on the following link:
Round the Island Race Fundraising Challenge 2024 - Tall Ships Youth Trust, Sail Training Adventures for Ages 12-80 %
The Trust will hold the boat for us until the end of next week, so if you are interested, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us as we will hopefully fill the boat on a first come first served basis. Racing experience is not necessary.
THE FUNDRAISING CHALLENGE Tall ships youth trust are asking each person to fundraise as part of the challenge. Every single penny raised goes directly towards helping more young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to access sailing; equipping them with the skills and confidence needed to create better outcomes for themselves and their communities. There’ll be support and guidance along the way from our fundraising team, and you’ll be given all the tools you need to kick-start your activities. Every £900 raised could send one young person on a Voyage of Exploration – the first of our new three voyage programme, helping to change their lives at sea. but hopefully you’d also be willing to look at some charity fund raising to support the event.

Please feel free to get in touch with us at the Club if you want any further information.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
The Directors and Staff
Metropolitan Police Sailing Club

Good morning all,
We have a long retired Met officer who would like to get in contact with an old friend and one of our members, the problem is the contact details we hold for him are out of date.
If any one knows a Richard May, please ask him to contact the club.
Many thanks MPSC
