A new campaign, Our Isles and Oceans, which launched at Largs Yacht Haven today, will create funded programmes for young people affected by the pandemic and lockdown.
The cornerstone of the project will be a partnership with the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race, providing funded sailing programmes for young people to learn to sail.
They are calling for 18- to 35-year-olds to apply to its initiative, as the pandemic has had a negative impact on the age group’s education and employment opportunities over the last 15 months.
The confidence built and the skills learnt through the sport of sailing can be transferred from on deck to the workplace which is why the first Our Isles and Oceans programme to launch will take place on a Clipper Race yacht.
