Two of our sailors from last year who have been on a huge personal journey; independently travelled overnight by coach and train to Ipswich to board Excelsior on Saturday 28th June.

They have been apart of the crew- complete strangers until Saturday night -which has taken the voyage over the English Channel to Le Harve in France where Excelsior will be prepared by her crew for and take part in the 2025 Tall Ship Race. The girls will travel back this Sunday 6th July with lots more memories and lifelong friends.

Thanks so much to the Excelsior crew, and the Sail Training International Youth Development Fund for making this happen!
