What We Are Doing
Well here we are, planning a trip around the UK coast, we leave on the 12th of June for the 2 and a half month trip, in a boat about the length of a modern estate car. Crazy? Foolhardy?

Well we like to think so.

The aim of this sponsored sail is to raise money for the Fellowship Afloat's bursary fund, which provides oppurtunities for people to enjoy outdoor activities who might otherwise not be able to afford it.

One of Fellowship Afloat's big goals is to allow as many people as possible the oppurtunity to enjoy the activities that the centre provides. Over the years this has meant subsidising the costs for many individuals and groups.

The fund setup to provide for these groups and individuals has been supported over the years by generous legacy's and donations, but this has over the last three years been depleted as Fellowship Afloat has sought to offer itself to more.

We plan with this trip to replenish the bursary fund, our goal £10,000 is the amount that Fellowhsip Afloat spent last year from this fund, and if we can raise it will guarantee another years worth of support.

Please keep checking this page as we update it with our location and the tales of our travels around the UK. If you would like to donate money to the bursary fund Click on the link at the top of the page.

About the Boat
The boat, Jellyfish, is a 21ft Mark II Corribee built in 1980. She is a bilge keel (two short fins on either of side), which makes her ideal for the East Coast where she is moored.

Although easliy controlled by one person we have decided to do this together because 10 weeks on your own sounds like a long time to us, and the challenge of coping with each other for that long will undoubtedly create some intersting posts! Corribees are well known for their sea worthiness. Dame Ellen MacArthur sailed around Britain in Iduna, her own Corribee, when she was 18 years old. Since then several have crossed the Atlantic, although we don't plan on going that far yet.

For more information on the boat you can go to the Corribee Class Association website, for more information about our trip have a look at our Big Plan
