Join Us To Celebrate 70 Years of Changing Young Lives at Sea

Since 1956, when we began life as the Sail Training Association, our mission has stayed firmly on course: empowering young people living with disadvantage to transform their lives at sea. For seven decades, thousands of young people have sailed with us, gaining confidence, resilience, and practical life skills that support them as they journey into adulthood.
We’re marking 70 years with a special evening this November, honouring our past and looking ahead to the future. Whether you’ve volunteered, sailed with us, or supported our work, we’d love for you to be there. Let’s celebrate together!
