It was an amazing experience and I learned new skills and racing techniques which I brought home and am passing on to others who are learning to sail at the charity.

Also, earlier this year I sailed a 2050-mile leg from Croatia to Alicante in Spain as part of the charity’s Croatia to Cornwall endeavour. The trip was also a huge learning experience and helped to build my confidence even further while regaining the sense of responsibility I used to have in the forces.
