The JTYAF is delighted to support Gorsemoor Scouts to take part in the Asto Small Ships Passage Race in August. The group will be will be racing from Guernsey to Poole in a 60ft yacht against other sailing vessels crewed by young people.

The 7 night adventure will begin on the Saturday with introductions, safety briefings and boat familiarisation on board.

There will be activities on the Sunday and a chance to explore Guernsey, and then on Monday there will be a day sail to get the crews trained with their boats and ready to race. The race itself will start on Tuesday. After the race the fleet will gather in Poole and enjoy some fantastic events organised with the RNLI, who will be celebrating their 200th Anniversary! Then the prizegiving on Friday before heading home on Saturday.

This experience will offer the Scouts a unique opportunity for personal development. They will be the only crew representing Scouting in Dorset at this prestigous event and we wish them every success.
