Challenger Yacht Sailing Trip
February Half Term

We had an amazing week sailing.  Huge Thanks to Tall Ships Youth Trust and The Rank Foundation for supporting this trip.

We sailed from Portsmouth to Poole, to Weymouth, to Cowes before returning to Portsmouth.  The crew was made up of Emily, Ness, Leah, Esme and Jenny from Cornwall; Kyle, Eliot, Chris and Dean from Falkirk in Scotland; Ozzy, Jamal, Nadeem and Mijanoor from Ashton in Lancashire.  Tall Ships Crew were Paul:Skipper, Di:First Mate and De: Watch Leader

  We had never met before and it was a challenge working together on the boat, but we did some great sailing and we all learnt lots.  We all received our RYA Start Yachting Certificates, Emily & Leah gained their Competent Crew Qualification and they were also recommended as assistant watch leaders by the skipper!
