Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
hi erm what can i say .... im chris im from a small town called st helens i am 17 year of age and i have a opportunity of a life time
On 16th April 2009, I shall be setting off from Southampton to sail two thousand miles to Tenerife, via Vigo in Spain. I shall be a part of the crew aboard 'Rona II', a 68ft ketch. After delivering the boat to Vigo, we shall take part in the ceremonies that begin the Transatlantic Tall Ships Race and then be pitted against other sailing ships of all sizes and ages, all with crews aged under 25. From Tenerife, the next crew from our organisation will take over the boat and race her from there to Bermuda.

This presents a fantastic opportunity for us as a sail training organisation to help youthful members of our society; to build character, teamworking and leadership skills. We are all volunteers and everyone works extremely hard to perform at a competitive level.

Each one of us has to raise £1400 in total to go towards the costs of sending our ship across the Atlantic and back again.
