about GET ON THE WATER

One of the primary objectives of the Poole Harbour Boat Show has always been to encourage more people onto the water. As part of a charitable partnership with Ocean Youth Trust South, we are offering 12 deserving, local young people the opportunity to participate in a 5 night voyage aboard the sail training vessel ‘Prolific’ between 21st – 26th August 2019.

 

A voyage with Ocean Youth Trust South is not just about learning to sail, a voyage is designed to develop confidence, team-working, the ability to cope with unfamiliar situations, and tolerance and understanding of others. This potentially life changing opportunity is open to all young people from Dorset, aged 12 -18 years.

Does the young person live in Dorset?
Do you have the parent's/guardian's permission for the young person to participate
Is the young person available on the voyage dates?

*Please note that the selected participants will be required to fill in an Ocean Youth Trust South booking form before a place on the voyage can be confirmed. This form will ask for details of medical conditions, physical or learning difficulties, behaviour issues etc., in order that we can be certain that people can safely take part in the voyage, and to ensure that appropriate support can be provided to everyone on board. If you are concerned that you may be nominating a young person who will have anything of this nature to declare, please feel free to contact carolinewhite@oytsouth.org to discuss in confidence whether the young person is likely to be eligible for the voyage.
