Learning to sail and navigate their yacht and facing the physical and
mental challenges of being out at sea, have shown over and over to
inspire confidence in young people, as well as an increased awareness of
the environment around them.
Living in the tight-knit community on board develops teamwork,
leadership and, most of all, friendship. Learning hands-on skills like
calculating a course, predicting the tides or adjusting the sails to the
wind bring classic curriculum items out of the classroom and into an
approachable and fun context.
Exploring the environment we sail in, as well as the destinations we
sail to, by diving in head first (sometimes quite literally), forms the
setting of our mission to provide an education at sea for young people
of all backgrounds and abilities.
