Life changing adventures

"This type of residential is a very effective tool in engaging young people to work as a team. Team-work is the key to success on the voyage because without it the boat would not move and the young people would not be able eat or keep their environment clean.  Sailing encourages the young people to work together and take responsibility for their own action".
