Sail Training Shetland are offering Taster Day Sails between the 15th and 19th April. These days will be on board the Swan and will serve as a selection event for those considering taking part in the Tall Ships Races in 2022 or 2023.
The day sails will offer a small taste of what a longer passage at sea would be like; with the young people learning about the many aspects of working a boat including working sails, watch systems, taking the helm and basic navigation. The opportunity is available to anyone aged 14-25 (those who are not yet 15 will be considered for the Tall Ships Races in 2023).
The applications for these days are now open on the Sail Training Shetland website with the closing date for applications being Friday 1st April.
