Sailing with the Rona Trust from Southampton-Isle of White & Portsmouth returning to Southampton - October 8th October-10th October 2010
The Rona Sailing Project (formerly Rona Trust - London Sailing Project) is one of the oldest Sail Training organisations in the UK, established for almost 50 years.  In that time, they have taken over 30,000 young people to sea and given them the experience of a lifetime, greater self-confidence and a new perspective on the world.

This trip was organised with three other youth centres Young People March, Warboys and Cottenham.

Young People March took 13 Young People to participate in this sea adventure. All the young people who took part experienced the hard work of running a Yacht while at sea, having to sail, cook, clean and sleep on board. This was a great team building experience.
