Building foundations for the future & Providing sailing for all.
Absolutely everything we do is driven by our belief that all young people can excel and succeed in life and work. We believe that the challenges of sailing and watersports do this by promoting health and wellbeing whilst building essential life skills. These skills then enable young people to progress through education and into work.
Transforming lives through sailing: 10 years of positive impact.
We believe that everyone should be able to access and participate in sailing and watersports, regardless of background or ability. Therefore, we work to remove any true or perceived barriers to enable and encourage all young people to participate in sailing and watersports.
£15,000,000 has been raised and invested into our sailing community to date and we have enabled 160,000 individuals to get on the water and access sailing & watersports!
