The sight of tall ships in harbours around the UK, Europe and beyond, is awe-inspiring. So is the work that Sail Training International do in providing opportunities for young people to have the experience of a lifetime crewing those ships. That’s why we are particularly pleased to be working with the board of trustees helping them develop a 5-year strategy for the charity, as well as a business plan for the trading arm which organises the races, regattas and events. Our role is taking us to their international conferences in Bordeaux and Seville (as well as closer to home in Southampton) for workshops and consultations with ports, ship owners and event organisers, making sure everyone is on board.
