Time for reflection as the ship passes a Port Channel buoy

I have had a great week on TS royalist, the week has been hard work but I have really enjoyed taking part in everything from climbing the rigging, working together and meeting new friends .

I would defiantly recommend this course to anyone CPL Sarah Aplin 1444 Brownhills Sqn

It's not all plain sailing !!!!!

This week we gained vital life skills, such as communication, leadership and teamwork. The food was the best part of the week!

The TS.Royalist gave me exciting opportunities which were life changing. The people were brilliant and we were laughing all of the time. We were taught all about navigation and had a fantastic evening where we got to put it all into practice. I got to helm the ship (the big wheel) and this was brilliant, as I got to control the ship. I made some incredible friends that I am definitely going to keep in touch with. This week gave me a fantastic sense of adventure! If you get the opportunity you should definitely go on this course.

 I applied for a week on T.S. Royalist thinking I will learned about life on a tall ship, teamwork, motivation and enjoyed sailing on the open sea. At the end of the week I can safely say that this trip met and exceeded all my expectations, and has shown me how teamwork and camaraderie can pull an individual through adverse conditions, and can accomplish tasks when you put your mind to it. A fantastic and inspiring week which I would recommend to anyone who yearns for adventure, and enjoys the company of like minded individuals.

Life on Board

This week has been an amazing week. I have learnt a lot of new skills and made great friends. I am now confident and comfortable with sailing I would love to have the opportunity to sail again. I would like to thank those who've made this week possible thank you.

Life on the ship was hard to adjust to at the start of the week but you quickly learn what you need to do under the watchful eyes of the crew. I would thoroughly recommend a stay on this ship to anybody because there is something that everyone can achieve from it be it little accomplishments or over coming fears. 

You are well looked after on your stay abroad with amazing meals being cooked at breakfast,lunch and dinner by the chef and the coxswain. The Crew are always making sure you always have something to do with your time. I have really enjoyed my time on board and would love to come back again in the future
