From 18–27 September, Helen Mary R will be at the show and open to visitors. We'd love you to come aboard, have a look around, meet us and find out a little more about how we use Sail Training to give young people some extraordinary adventures at sea.

And while you're aboard, we're giving you the chance to win one of those adventures: a fully funded three-day Weekend Explorer for a young person aged 11–16!

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.

We had such a brilliant time at the Fowey Royal Regatta Sail Training Class Races!

The brainchild of our very own Matt Barraud, the event brought together Morvargh Sailing Project, Morning Star Trust, Discovery Sailing Project and the Marine Society & Sea Cadets, with around 60 young people sharing an unforgettable adventure on the water.

A huge thank you to Plymouth, Fowey and Falmouth Harbours for their incredible support, with special thanks to Fowey Sailing and Casterbridge for helping make it all possible!

There’s something pretty special happening on the water this week, Fowey Royal Regatta!

Around 50 young people are taking part in this year’s Sail Training Class, coming together from Morvargh Sailing Project , Morning Star Trust, Discovery Sailing Project and the The Marine Society and Sea Cadets , meeting new people, making friends and sharing the experience of being part of one big Sail Training fleet.

Yesterday saw the first race from Plymouth to Fowey, bringing the fleet together in Fowey Harbour. This morning we’ll take part in a Parade of Sail, before heading back to sea and racing west towards Falmouth Haven, Cornwall.

But this is about much more than racing. By bringing all the vessels together in each port, we’ve been able to create our own little Sail Training race villages – young people and crews mixing between boats, sharing stories and becoming part of something much bigger than their individual vessel.

That’s only possible because of the fantastic support we receive from Plymouth Yacht Haven, Falmouth Harbour, FoweyHarbour and FoweySailing who have helped us bring the fleet together and given these young people the opportunity to experience Sail Training as a community.

Fifty young people. A fleet of Sail Training vessels. Three harbours. And a week of adventure, friendship, teamwork and racing ahead.

Love Fowey

Next stop, Falmouth!
