Sail Training on traditional Carriacou sloop New Moon.
The WISH Foundation is dedicated to offering free sail training for young Antiguans between the ages of 12 and 23. This program takes place aboard their traditional Carriacou Sloop, New Moon, where participants gain hands-on experience in sailing. Through engaging lessons, they learn the fundamentals of navigation, seamanship, and boat handling. More than just technical skills, the program fosters teamwork, problem-solving abilities, and self-confidence, empowering young sailors to explore future opportunities within or beyond the maritime industry.
The support from the Ocean Cruising Club Charitable Trust is instrumental in keeping this program accessible to all interested youth, regardless of their background. Their commitment to sailing, education, and community building aligns perfectly with the goals of WISH, ensuring that the rich maritime heritage of the West Indies continues to thrive in the next generation.
