Joss Windridge-Hicks is 14. He lives at Westward Farm on St Agnes in the Isles of Scilly. Joss worked and saved for years to buy his own boat so that he could travel around the islands, visit his friends and row with the junior gig crew on St Mary’s. Joss loved being at sea. Then one night a faulty shackle resulted in the boat breaking her moorings and being carried away by strong easterly winds. The Coastguard have had no reports of a drifting boat and it seems unlikely that Joss’s boat will ever be found.

We are hoping to raise enough money for Joss to buy himself a new boat, to replace the one he lost.

Please help if you can.
