Background information for adult voyages

While OYT South’s primary purpose is to sail with young people aged 12-25, we do have occasional voyages for people aged over 25.

These allow us to sail with all sorts of people with an interest in our work:

Prospective sea staff who want to find out whether they would enjoy sailing with us as volunteers
Former crew members who are now past the age of 25
Sponsors and donors who want to see what is achieved through their support
Parents and other family members of young people who come home talking about what a great time they have had on board John Laing.
Teachers, youth workers, etc. who are considering bringing a group to sail with us
Other charities and good causes doing joint fundraising events with OYT South
Companies interested in corporate sailing who would prefer their fee for the day to go to a charity like OYT South instead of into the profits of a commercial sailing firm.
Special day sails for particular groups - such as the confidence-building day sail for Muslim women that we ran in 2007 in conjunction with Wheatsheaf Trust:
