Morning Star Trust – Gold Residential: 5-Day Youth Sailing Adventure – Hayling Island, South Coast

One Crew. One Week. One Epic Adventure.

Discover a world governed by the wind and the waves. From the moment you step aboard, you are a crucial part of the crew sailing our yacht.

Under the guidance of our Sea Staff, you will take on real responsibility. Learn to helm, navigate, and trim sails as we head through the Solent and beyond. Whether you are battling a swell or gliding through smooth seas, every moment will show you the power of teamwork and the thrill of open water.

Make lifelong friends as you eat, sleep, and explore together on the ultimate sailing adventure. Sharing the close quarters of a sailing yacht creates a bond like no other. Share the quiet magic of a night watch under the stars and celebrate every milestone together with a crew that started the week as strangers.

By the time you return to shore, you will have accomplished far more than your Gold Residential. Achieve your RYA Competent Crew qualification while developing leadership, communication, and resilience in a real-world environment.

No experience is needed – only a spirit of adventure.

Bursaries are available. Please get in touch and we will support you in joining this voyage.
