We are delighted to bring you news of our new part We are delighted to bring you news of our new partner vessel, the magnificent Class A tall ship Thalassa, a Dutch three masted Barquentine. https://tallshipthalassa.nl/en/ Thalassa will become a key part of Sail Training Ireland’s programme over the next number of years joining our other amazing vessels Maybe and Ilen. We will have two voyages on her in 2027 and five in 2028. She takes thirty-three trainees and three mentors alongside the professional crew. We look forward to working with all the crew and shore team of Thalassa. So, plenty of opportunities for more young people to take part and benefit from the unique development experience of a sail training voyage while having an adventure and great fun. Please keep an eye on our social media as we announce details later this year of the voyages and how you can get involved. We believe there will be a lot of interest in getting onboard Thalassa so to avoid disappointment please contact us if: • You have a group that would be interested in booking an entire voyage exclusively for your group to discuss how we can help make that happen. Or • You are a business or individual who would like to help us provide this opportunity to more young people who face disadvantage and people with disabilities. You can really make a massive impact on young people across the country who may not usually get an opportunity like this due to their circumstances.

Last year we were delighted to receive funding fro Last year we were delighted to receive funding from Irish Sailing to support our work around inclusivity and volunteering. It enabled us to support 142 people with a disability to participate on our voyages. This represents 30% of our total participants. Thank you to all at Irish Sailing and in particular Oonagh Healy. Thanks also to Oonagh for the wonderful article on our annual Awards ceremony (see link). She captures the marvellous atmosphere of the event and the impact sail training can have. https://www.sailing.ie/News/id/13405

Bringing about real change Our young trainees en Bringing about real change Our young trainees enjoy an amazing adventure while having great fun and making new friends on Sail Training Ireland voyages. They learn about how to crew a tall ship, the maritime sector, the environment, and the impact we are having on the planet. Critically, they also learn essential soft skills in a very real environment as they become part of the crew of the tall ship. The improvement in skills experienced by our trainees this season has been up to an amazing 20% across a range of skills (see graph below). Even more remarkable is that this change happens over the short space of a weeklong voyage. These are leadership skills that the young people can use in all aspects of their lives. Well done to them all. @dublinportco @dublincitycouncil @neic_dublin Department of Defence @maybesailing @pelicanoflondon @sailingintowellness @irishsailing @rethinkireland #sailtrainng #tallships #leadershiptraining
