On Friday we finished our North Coast Explorer voyage with this brilliant group of trainees (ages 18-30). Thank you so much folks for your enthusiasm, we loved sharing LEADER with you!

Voyages like these, organised by Sail Training Ireland for Youth Development are one of the best, most cost effective ways for young people to access sail training and reap the benefits it can bring. Check out their website for other opportunities to get onboard!

Some lovely feedback from a guest onboard with Lagan Currachs
