We sail with young people and adults from a wide range of
organisations and backgrounds, and of all abilities. Past groups that have taken
part include Scouts & Guides, Schools, Youth Clubs, Cadets, Social Services,
Duke of Edinburgh Award Groups, etc, as well as individuals. We welcome groups
of young people from the age of 12 to 25. Adults are also more than welcome to sail with us, especially during school term time
and the May/June exam periods, although
first priority is given to young people.
We have our own bursary fund to assist young people
unable to afford the full cruise fee. We also have access to other bursary
money, so there is no need for any young person to miss out on this great
experience through lack of funds.
We sail mainly from Ipswich on the East Coast, but also operate longer trips across to the continent and
at least one of the boats is normally entered in the annual
Tall Ships race series.
For full details, please see our
programme.
We are a recognised RYA teaching establishment, which
enables
us to provide
training towards various
Royal Yachting Association practical qualifications. The RYA Start
Yachting certificate can be gained on any voyage, whilst the Competent
Crew qualification can be gained on trips of five days or longer.
More advanced training is also available by arrangement. |
