William Beynon, was among four young people, aged between 14 and 17, who took part in the sailing trip on Tuesday August 3.
They were joined by a Trust crew of volunteers and a skipper who taught them to raise the sails and helm the 44 foot yacht.
William Beynon was 13 when he was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma.
Now 15, he initially felt nervous about going sailing but reveals having something to look forward to got him through lockdown.
William said: "The trip definitely helped, you need something to get you back out after being inside for so long and it was just so different to what we’re used to in lockdown because it was quiet, and you can’t see everyone.
"It was really good because meeting new people and everything is really nice and spending time with new friends is always good fun."
The sailing day was part of the Trust’s ‘Taste of the Trust’ programme in response to the ongoing pandemic for 2021.
