Sail Training Ireland for Youth Development Ireland's Tall Ship Sail Training Charity. Tall Ship Voyages for Irish People. Raising youth-funds for life changing experiences! www.sailtrainingireland.com

Sail Training is most famously carried out on the Tallships. It can in fact be carried out on a range of sea going sailing vessel from yachts to traditional vessels of all shapes and sizes. The main focus is not on the development of sailing skills but to learn to work with a team of peers, in very challenging situations at sea. The results are a new group of lifelong friends, a boosted self confidence and lifeskills that you won't learn anywhere else. Trainees regularly describe their experience as life changing and end up returning for many more voyages.

We are delighted to be able to share Sail Training Ireland’s 2026 Impact Report. These positive impacts happened because our amazing young people took on the challenge to improve themselves. They stepped outside their comfort zone and engaged themselves fully onboard a tall ship on our sail training voyages.

This was only made possible thanks to a collaborative effort from our supporters, funders, nominating organisations, sponsors, ships, crews, mentors, staff, board members, ports and most importantly the trainees themselves.

This is youth development and leadership leaning at its best and it all happens while having great craic and making new friends.

If you would like to get involved in helping make a real difference to young people’s lives please make contact with Daragh at [email protected]

Sail Training Ireland are very grateful to Martha Clarke Astrology for the very generous donation made to the charity this year. Martha has kindly established the Ruth Seavers bursary to honour her daughter Ruth. We believe that Ruth (pictured here) would be very pleased to know that the donation helped two young men take part in our self-development training voyages aboard the tall ship Maybe. They would not have been able to do so without her support. Thank you, Martha

Waterford, Ireland – Tuesday, the 4th of August 2026 – The two tall ships Maybe and Ilen successfully completed the 2026 Waterford Sail Training voyages, including the Asgard Armada Project sponsored by the Department of Defence. The two vessels moored in Waterford city marking the ninth year of this scheme that develops young people through transformative training experiences aboard tall ships.

Over the course of the voyages, young trainees from diverse backgrounds embarked on a life-changing journey aboard the iconic tall ships Ilen and the Maybe. These voyages provided participants with hands-on sailing experience, leadership development, and the opportunity to build confidence and resilience in a challenging yet supportive environment.

Sail Training Ireland extends heartfelt thanks to its generous sponsors Port of Waterford, Waterford City and County Council, Department Of Defence, whose continued support makes these voyages possible. Special thanks are also due to the crew of both ships and our wonderful mentors, whose dedication and professionalism ensured a safe, educational, and unforgettable experience for all involved.

As usual the project concluded with an Awards ceremony in Waterford City Hall. Mayor of Waterford Cllr Liam Brazil presented the young trainees with certificates and four of the participants spoke of the impact the experience had on them.
Daragh Sheridan, CEO of Sail Training Ireland, reflected on the success of the programme: “The Waterford voyages have once again delivered the impact that sail training can have on young people. This year’s participants were particularly fortunate with amazing weather delivering on the promise of “the sunny southeast”. We are grateful to our sponsors and partners, especially the team behind the Ilen and Maybe, for helping us provide such amazing experience. These voyages are not just about sailing—they are about youth development and teaching essential personal skills.”
As Sail Training Ireland continues its 2026 programme, it remains committed to inclusivity, accessibility, and the personal development of Ireland’s youth through the power of the sea.
