Current Scheme

During 2011, 42 young people from Shetland tasted life on the ocean wave through sail training opportunities made possible by Sail Training Shetland. 

We are actively considering placements to be made available during 2012.  Details on these opportunities will be posted on this page early next year so please check back for updates. 

Applicants must be between the ages of 15 - 25 years although no previous sailing experience is needed to take part.  Sail training provides an exciting adventure, new challenges and the chance to experience life at sea.  On their journeys, trainees learn the basics of seamanship, become part of a team and make lots of new friends and experience an international exchange of cultures and languages.  

More details on previous trainees and their experiences can be viewed on our Facebook page.
