It has been suggested that we create an Amazon Wish List for those things that we would like, but don't necessarily need!

This has become a list of those items but also those thing that we do need....brownies and toilet rolls are essential and will be provided so don't panic!! 🧻🧻🧻 However, if that is something you would like to contribute to then we would be very grateful!

If you do decide to gift something then please make sure you include a message so that we can thank you! We really appreciate all the support we get from our supporters so we send you a big thank you for that! What would we do without you! 🥰🥰

Happy new year to all our followers! 🥳🤩

We hope you all had a wonderful break and avoided all the Christmas bugs that were going around.

So here we go for another season! If you want to book your young person or yourself on a voyage then we still have availability and you can now book directly via our website. It is very easy!

As we enter 2025 we read a very interesting article about building resilience with young people and we want to remind you of the benefits of sail training and how this can help with issues that young people are experiencing.

Teamwork, outdoor activity, building relationships with peers and adults, fun and the sense of achievement in taking part in a new activity and doing well! Friendships are made that can last a lifetime and we all need friends to help us navigate life and the problems we can experience.

If you know of anyone who would benefit from this experience please ask them to email [email protected] and we can set them on the path of experiencing all of the above.

Come along and give it a go because if you don't try you will never know how great it can be! ⛵️🛟⚓️

The surge in mental health referrals among young people has prompted debate among experts about the cause - and the most effective solution

What a season 2024 has been!
Over 1700 people sailed with us on 3 1/2 boats (Merrilyn was in refit until July) which was amazing!
Thanks to everyone for their support, commitment, dedication and enthusiasm that made this possible.
The team enjoyed a Christmas lunch together yesterday but the office will be open until midday 20 December.
We will be back on 2 January having eaten our body weight in pigs in blankets and quality street ready for 2025! We will see you then.
Merry Christmas everyone!!! 🎅🏼🥗🎄🎁🥳
