Gipsy Moth has enabled us to offer young people from the Island the chance of a lifetime and the opportunity to sail with Gipsy Moth on one of the legs of her tour. 120 places are available on residential training courses with UKSA and from this 14 young people will be selected to fly out and join Gipsy Moth.
16 year old Matthew Pakes represented the Island on the first leg of Gipsy Moth’s tour between Plymouth and Gibraltar. Matthew’s journey was exciting, challenging and full of adventure – and we are offering more young people from the Island the chance to experience this for themselves.
If you live on the Island, are aged between 16-19 (or will be within the next year) and would like to join the training course at UKSA and perhaps sail on Gipsy Moth, it's simple - all you need to do is write to the address below and tell us why you think you should be given this opportunity. Have you overcome problems in your life, achieved something amazing - or simply never had the opportunity to do anything like this before? Write and tell us, and you could be joining this amazing voyage!
