On Monday 17^th September eight Y9 and two Y13 students boarded a 72ft Challenger Yacht for a week long Tall Ships voyage that would see them become part of a crew, sailing around the South coast of England under the guidance and expertise of the Captain and his team.

During their voyage the students learned the basics of sailing including using the winch to raise and lower the sails, the various knots required to secure the boat and equipment, taking the helm and how to evolve the boat, then put it to bed. This was a once-in-lifetime experience that will remain with the students forever. Thank you Cross Keys Homes and the Tall Ships Youth Trust.
