THE RONA SAILING PROJECT
“Promoting resourcefulness, responsibility and teamwork
among young people.”
The Rona Sailing Project is one of the oldest Sail
Training organisations in the UK, established for over 50 years. In
that time, we have taken over 20,000 young people to sea and given
them the experience of a lifetime, greater self-confidence and a
new perspective on the world
We ensure that our crews come from a wide variety of social
backgrounds: from the well-adjusted, to those in the care of Social
and Probation Services, as well as those in between.
We are the second largest provider of offshore sailing in the UK
for people who are deaf, visually impaired, both blind and deaf or
have severe learning difficulties
Apart from a dedicated full-time team of just four, the Project has
400 volunteers, who man the yachts.
“We are very proud and grateful to be selected as the Marine
Charity of the 2013 PSP Southampton Boat Show. The Rona Sailing
Project strives to ensure that no young person is excluded from
taking part in a sail training voyage on the grounds of cost. They
pay £190 for a seven day period which represents one third of the
actual operating cost. Any contribution from the PSP Southampton
Boat Show will be much appreciated. “
