Turn to Starboard is a COBSEO registered charity using RYA sailing courses to support Armed Forces personnel who have been affected by military operations. We support those who are Serving or Retired and their families.
We help those retired from the forces and those still serving to get perspective on past events and focus on a successful future.
Beneficiaries gain tangible experiences, expert training and career-building opportunities including the chance to gain internationally recognised marine qualifications.
We are run by a group of ex-service, serving and civilian staff and volunteers who believe that sailing has a therapeutic and calming effect on participants. We help veterans gain internationally recognised sailing qualifications to help start new careers. The organisation also offers sailing trips to Service families who have been affected by operations to spend time together on a skippered yacht. For further information visit:
