The boys had an amazing opportunity today to crew on and sail the Golden Vanity, a beautiful wooden yacht first made in 1908! The sun was shining and all the boys had an amazing day working together as a team and learning about the boat.

The team have spent the day working towards a preliminary Yachtmaster qualification and have been given logbooks in case they want to develop their skills in the future. Well done boys on a fantastic day at sea.
