What an amazing event to be part of! Massive thanks to ASTO for organising and all their hard work in making it happen and to Brannel School and their students for embracing the challenge.

This year's Cowes Small Ships Race transformed into a powerful showcase of the true spirit of sail training, as over 300 young people, sea staff, and volunteers came together to tackle 34 challenges on the water and off. From boat bingo to flag making and buoy spotting to a mythical creature hunt, they had a fantastic day on the water! Now for the prize giving! 🌊💪

We’re incredibly excited to be taking part in our first ever ASTO Small Ships Race this weekend aboard Helen Mary R.

It’s also a real privilege to be working once again with Brannel School, this time as part of our Beyond the Horizon project, generously supported by Trinity House.

For us, this is exactly what Sail Training is about. Bringing young people together, giving them real responsibility as part of a crew, and creating the space for confidence, friendships and a genuine sense of belonging to grow.

We can’t wait to see our young crew take on the challenge, meet crews from across the UK and experience everything that comes with being part of the wider Sail Training community.

Here’s to our first Small Ships Race; hopefully the first of many.

Today, Holly has chosen to give a shout-out to Morvargh Sailing Project based in Fowey, Cornwall.

They do some brilliant work getting young people out on the water and using sailing to build confidence, resilience and teamwork. ⛵

We’re really pleased to have them as one of our partners. 💙⛵

38 DAYS. 2,000 MILES. 10 YOUNG PEOPLE. ONE LIFE-CHANGING ADVENTURE.

We've been working hard behind the scenes on ASPIRE360, and we're excited to share our new expedition brochure.

In spring 2027, ten young people aged 14 to 18 will become the crew of Helen Mary R for an extraordinary circumnavigation of Britain.

ASPIRE360 is the only expedition of its kind in the UK. One boat. One young crew. The entire way around. The same ten young people will share the whole journey together, from the moment they leave Fowey to the moment they sail home again.

They'll cross open seas, stand night watches, explore incredible places, face challenges together and take on real responsibility as they sail all the way around Britain and home again. Very few young people will ever experience an adventure on this scale; one designed to build confidence, resilience, independence and a lasting belief in what they're capable of.
