“In overcrowded Britain, as our wide open spaces are reduced, the peaks of the popular national parks are being worn down by hordes of hikers. Yet on our doorstep we have the finest adventure training area of all – the sea.

Aboard a sailing ship there is no escape from one’s duties, responsibilities and comrades. A young person has to learn tolerance and understanding as well as the importance of both physical and mental fitness. Whether aloft, on deck or in the galley, one must work as a team to keep the ship moving”.
