Each year, over 3,000 sail with the Trust with 70% of the young people disadvantaged or disabled.
For most young people, a Trust voyage is a turning point. Living, working and eating together is both challenging, physically and mentally. Young people don’t just learn about life at sea. They learn about life itself.
From the minute they step on board, young people work in watches, taking responsibility for themselves and others. Tasks include setting and stowing sails, helming, rope work, anchoring, navigation, meteorology, cleaning and maintaining, food preparation and galley work.
