Rona II Fundraising Challenge

Rona II Fundraising Challenge – Last 3 Places Left

The Rona Sailing Project is now only a month away from starting their 12-day sailing challenge to help raise funds for Wave 105 Cash for Kids.  They have 3 places left on the challenge boat and are appealing for adventurous folk to take part in the challenge.  The money raised from these last 3 places will go to the Rona Sailing Project itself.  The challenge starts in Universal Marina on the River Hamble on Monday 21st March 2016 returning Friday 1st April 2016 sailing on the Rona II a 68ft Oyster Ketch.  There will be a crew meeting this Sunday 21st February for anyone who signs up for the challenge.

The sailing challenge will take you around Lands’ End and the Scilly Isles, into the Irish Sea where you will then sail along the coasts of Ireland, Northern Ireland, The Isle of Man and Wales.  Once across the Irish Sea to Wales, you will be heading south for home. Passing the Scilly Isles once again and sailing along the South West Coasts of Cornwall, Devon and the Jurassic Coast of Dorset.  If time allows you may visit a French port before finishing your Challenge back at Universal Marina on the beautiful River Hamble, with a staggering 1500nm added to your logbook.  A donation of £600 is suggested for each of the 3 remaining places with all the proceeds going directly to the Rona Sailing Project.   This challenge will be an excellent learning, mile-building and training opportunity not to mention a great deal of fun whilst raising money for a fantastic organisation at the same time.

If this sounds like the type of adventure you are looking for then please contact Brid at the Rona Sailing Project to register your interest.  Her email address is brid@ronasailingproject.com.  Please don’t delay though, this is a fantastic opportunity and I’m sure the places will be filled very quickly.

About the Rona Sailing Project.

The Rona Sailing Project is one of the most respected sail training organisations in the UK and has been taking young people and those with disabilities to sea since it was founded in 1960.  By fundraising and using fully trained volunteer skippers and officers, the Rona Sailing Project can offer a life-changing experience of teamwork and adventure to anyone who could otherwise not afford the expense of a commercial training organisation.  They operate a fleet of three large, modern, ocean-going yachts all based on the beautiful River Hamble on the South Coast near Southampton.  If you would like to find out more information on the Rona Sailing Project or indeed give them a donation then visit the Rona Sailing Project website for more details.
