Ten intrepid juniors have signed up to do their very first offshore race with the Tall Ships Youth Trust. In May, they will be racing from Portsmouth to Le Havre and back on a Challenger 72, taking part in the RORC Cervantes Race (designed as a qualifier for the Fastnet).

This is an amazing opportunity, however it's not a cheap weekend and so they need your support! Over the next few months they will be doing lots of fundraising at the club, with the aim of raising £2,000 towards the total cost of the weekend (which is £5,000).

From cake sales to car washing…. movie nights to mega bingo, there will be plenty of ways you can support this amazing bunch of juniors and help them on their way.
