Youth Sailing Scheme
In August 2025 Sea-Change delivered two weeks of Youth Sailing Scheme voyages with young people returning to us. The changeover was at Pin Mill on the River Orwell and meant the second week started with a passage from there after an early start to the Walton Backwaters. There the Blue Mermaid was anchored between Oakley Creek and Stone Point allowing the Toppers to be used for exploring. We visited the thriving seal colony in the creek, had a barbecue on Stone point and sailed the Toppers between bouts of windy weather. Take a look at this video on our facebook page of the barge tacking out of Harwich with one of our trainees on the helm.
