The Set Sail Trust is planning to be back in the water next year, however the charity is looking for more support to help it provide opportunities for as many young people as possible.
The 2019 Pilot Cutters programme completed over 70 round trips carrying 600 children and young adults from 11 schools and 12 youth groups, however the initiative was not possible this year due to the pandemic.
The trust is aiming to relaunch it in June 2021 so that children who wouldn’t normally have access to nautical activities will be able to enjoy themselves out on the open seas.

The SST has three trustees - Butterfield, IAM Advisory and TPA - and two strategic corporate ambassadors - Carey Olsen and Ravenscroft - who are encouraging other businesses to make corporate donations and become an ambassador by sponsoring a pilot cutter.
For a donation of £1,500 the Corporate Ambassadors will:
fund a day of sailing for underprivileged groups, special needs schools and the States' chosen primary school for that year, plus
an evening sailing experience for a team of 12 onboard a Pilot Cutter followed by dinner at The Yacht Club. A great opportunity for corporate hospitality or staff team building.
get recognition as a Corporate Ambassador on the Set Sail Trust website and marketing material surrounding the Pilot Cutters Week.
have the option to use the SST logo on their own marketing material.
