Mission                                                                             Donate-Button.jpg
Ocean Youth Trust Ireland is dedicated to providing the young people of Ireland,  from all walks of life and backgrounds, the opportunity to participate in the unique experience that is  Sail Training.
 

Sail Training OYTI Style

Being part of the crew, sailing a 70ft ocean going vessel, opens up a world of adventure, of teamwork, of responsibility, of learning, of self confidence and  fun. We empower and support young people to succeed.

 

Why?

There is universal recognition that engaging young people on extended and challenging sailing voyages provides an opportunity to develop valuable life skills that  they might not otherwise have the chance to experience.

Refit 2008

 

Lord Rank was successfully lifted out at Harland and Wolff under the careful direction of our skipper and refit manager Chris Morris on Tuesday 22nd of January. She is sitting comfortably in her cradle and work has begun with Ryan Johnston our bosun in the thick of it, pressure washing the hull.

 

Unfortunately we managed to forget new batteries and our digital camera failed to record the spectacle of Lord Rank flying through the sky but if you would like an idea of what it was like check out last years refit photos. Click Here.
