ABOUT US

Since 2012 and with Sir Ben Ainslie as patron, our RCYC Sailing Trust has been providing opportunities for families and especially children to experience sailing in the waters around Falmouth with the aim of enhancing lives and opening up further avenues and skills.

Since we began, we've given several hundred such children from various local schools and organisations the opportunity to get out on the water on a variety of boats.

The majority of children supported by our Trust are from local charities and organisations who support under-resourced families and communities.

The RCYC Sailing Trust was founded by two sailors - Robin Taylor and Nick Woodley, who are joined by six further trustees, all of whom are water-appreciating individuals with a variety of experience in business, finance, project management and administration. Importantly, they all love the sea and are passionate about giving young people the opportunity to experience the wonderful waters around Falmouth.
