Junior Week A Little Help Needed!

Published 09:27 on 24 Jul 2026

As many of you know, one of the highlights of Junior Week has always been the chance for the kids (and their guardians!) to head over to Priory Bay, or another spot on the Isle of Wight, for a little adventure by boat.

Over the past few years, the weather hasnt always been on our side, and at one point we didnt have enough volunteer boats available to get everyone across. Thankfully, last year the weather was much kinder, and we were delighted to see an increase in volunteer boats, meaning more families were able to enjoy the trip. However, we still need more volunteers to make sure every young sailor and their guardian can take part, and to help this fantastic Junior Week tradition continue to grow.

So were putting the call out early! If you have a boat and think you could help with this years trip, wed love to hear from you. Each child is accompanied by their own guardian, so theres no additional responsibility for the boat owner beyond providing the transport.

If you think you might be able to help—or know someone who might—please get in touch. It would mean so much to the children and help keep one of the most memorable parts of Junior Week alive.

Thank you so much!
