Sail Training

A sail training voyage can be a life changing experience. It is a challenging and fun way to develop self-confidence. It provides a structured, secure, challenging environment with defined boundaries and a clear common purpose.

Sail training teaches young people life skills to improve their employment prospects and broaden their horizons. This includes learning teamwork & communication skills, decision making & planning skills, learning about resilience and respect as well as developing self-confidence, in a fun, adventurous and enjoyable setting.
