The Island Trust provides sailing opportunities for disadvantaged young people
The Island Trust is a charity that provides sailing opportunities for disadvantaged young people. We send 600 young people sailing annually, either dinghy sailing courses or off shore sailing cruises. Please help support the Trust in the valuable work that it does for the young disadvantaged.
We help groups typically, although not exclusively:

  • Young people with learning difficulties
  • Those with special needs
  • Those with behavioural difficulties
  • Offenders or those at risk of offending
  • Youngsters on a variety of rehabilitation programmes
  • Young people from inner cities or other deprived areas

Dinghy sailing is taken as residential courses at the ICC in Salcombe, Devon. The ICC is a recognised RYA (Royal Yachting Association) sailing training centre with a fleet of over 50 boats to suit all ages and abilities.

The Cutter Appeal
Our new Pilot Cutter PEGASUS was launched on Thursday May the 22nd 2008. Now Pegasus is in the water her final fitting out can be done. The plan is that Pegasus will be at her home port of Salcombe by June 28th (date may change), ready to start her sailing career. We still have to raise about £100,000 so the Cutter Fund is still open. Click to go to the Cutter page last minutes before launch
