Challenge Wales
Challenge Wales is a charity dedicated to providing young people aged between 12 and 25 years old a chance to develop their self-esteem and life-skills of team working and communication through the experience of sailing.
This is achieved through sailing Challenge Wales, a 72-ft round-the-world yacht and the largest sail training vessel in Wales.
Challenge Wales works with schools, groups and young people's organisations but also offers big boat sailing experiences, a variety of sailing trips including milebuilder opportunities and RYA sailing qualifications for both young people and adults.
Book a Sailing Trip
Fancy sailing? Join us for a big boat 'Challenge Experience' day, an overnight voyage or longer. Visit Lundy Island, sail with us on a mile building delivery trip, take part in a race (Round The Island Race, Cowes and The Lyver Trophy Race, Holyhead to Liverpool), book a competent crew course or charter the boat with friends or clients. No sailing experience necessary.
Volunteers
The Challenge Wales organisation is run and managed by volunteers. If you have a few hours to spare, a couple of days or even weeks we will be really happy to have you onboard. From crewing the boat to maintenance, to helping with admin in the office to speaking to youth groups. We are always on the lookout for help
Schools & Young People
Sail on a personal development journey, from a taster day sail to longer residential opportunities. Through sail training develop teamwork & communication skills and improve self-esteem. Ideal for individuals or groups: whether a school trip, alternative curriculum, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Residential or wanting to learn a new skill.
