Bursary Opportunities for Young Sailors at Tall Ships Adventure

Tall Ships Adventure

Jan 28, 2021

At Tall Ships Adventure, we firmly believe that all youth are wanting to unlock their potential, that’s why we provide youth ages 12-18 with a challenging and engaging environment that teaches responsibility, self-reliance, and courage through tall ship sailing. We recognize that not all families have the financial means to spend the summer sailing. We strive to ensure that no youth are left ashore for want of funds, and this is why we have established the Captain Thomas and Jeanne Fuller Bursary Fund. It is awarded yearly to youth who would otherwise not have the opportunity to sail with us.

Applications for the first wave of bursaries are accepted until February 15th. If you’ve ever wanted to learn to sail a tall ship, make a boatload of new friends, and have the summer adventure of a lifetime sailing along the Ottawa River or the 1,000 Islands and Lake Ontario, then please visit the Bursaries and Scholarship page on our website and apply today! Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or are stepping aboard a ship for the first time, all are welcome.

This summer, we’re offering a variety of adventures from July to August, ranging from 5-day day adventures to 14-day overnight voyages. To see dates for specific adventures, you can visit the Find Your Adventure page on our website and register.

Looking Good

Just got back from the Toronto International Boat Show and I was pleasantly surprised in several ways. First, the boats appeared somehow fresh. An impressive batch of new models and certainly a lot of new colours. Aqua hulls, mulberry with matching colour Mercs on the stern. I think it’s not unkind to say boats have been looking much the same, year after year but this year they looked refreshed and energetic.

New Boats: Beneteau Oceanis 34.1 – A Sleek, Good -Looking Delight To Sail

By Katherine Stone

There is nothing more that I enjoy than being with friends and messing about in boats. Messing about in brand-new boats on a champagne sailing day on Lake Ontario at the beginning of the summer doesn’t get any better. To have the new owner, Helmuth Strobel and Anchor Yachts dealer Pancho Jimenez aboard made it even more special, as they can also speak to what they truly enjoy about the boat. We keep our own boat in a harbour that has a long waiting list for boats over 35 feet, so this little gem would definitely fit the bill and feels like a much bigger boat. True to the spirit of the 7th generation Oceanis line, the 34.1 is built in Poland and replaces the 35.1. It is 1,000 lbs lighter, 14 cm narrower and has 29% more sail area.
