Teenage Sailing Weekends with Rona Sailing Project

Teenage Weekends 2011

Sail 4 Cancer is once again pleased to be working with the Rona Sailing Project in providing our weekends for teenagers.

These trips will provide a weekend full of adventure for teenagers living with cancer and their chosen friend. Each trip will have a professional skipper and crew onboard, though everyone will be expected to get involved with all aspects on board from navigating and learning the skills of sailing through to cooking for your crewmates!

The feedback from our 2011 trips was fantastic with many of the youngsters keen to get back on board for another go! The renewed confidence and increased self esteem that these experiences give these young people is priceless - as are the new friendships and the salty sea tales they return home with!

Suitable for those aged 14 to 19 years, there is no cost for these trips apart from travel to and from the marina (near Portsmouth). The youngsters eat and sleep on the boat.

Dates for 2012:

Friday 21st - Sunday 23rd September
Friday 28th - Sunday 30th September

(NB These trips start late afternoon on Friday at around 4.30pm and finish at around 3.30pm on Sunday)

Comments from 2011

"It was great! I had loads of fun learning how to sail - everyone got stuck in! I would go again anytime!!" George

"Sail for 4 Cancer is a great organisation giving me the opportunity to try out sailing, it helps me overcome the difficulties I have experienced during my chemo, giving me confidence and an opportunity to meet people in a similar situation." Rebecca
