I am honoured to be one of the 70 veterans to take part in this expedition. Having served, I am aware that Operational service and military life can have lasting physical and mental effects, and many veterans struggle when they leave the forces. Turn to Starboard supports veterans – especially those who are wounded, sick or injured – helping them rebuild confidence and purpose through sailing.

A 2,000-nautical-mile circumnavigation of the United Kingdom celebrating the strength and spirit of our Armed Forces community.

This is more than a journey at sea. It is a living story of courage, service, and renewal; a reminder of how challenge and connection can heal, empower, and unite people.

Please help me help others.
