Remember the last Bank Holiday weekend? It was one for the books. We had an AMAZING voyage with Love Her Wild. ⛵ A weekend full of discovery, adventure, laughter, and embracing every opportunity. 🙌 21 incredible women from across the country joined our all-women TSYT crew for their first sailing adventure on Challenger 1 and 3. From Portsmouth to Portland, then to the Isle of Wight, they rose early for breathtaking sunrises, learned knots, and embraced life at sea. They sailed through The Needles, breathed in the fresh air, explored new places, and shared quiet beach walks. Asked what ‘Adventure’ means, words like fun, challenge, friendship, and unique came to mind. One lady, Dea, shared “I know myself”. 💫 Being outdoors with like-minded women created a safe, supportive space to relax, live in the moment, and embrace our skills and capabilities. The energy was beyond inspiring. As Jaine said, “I feel lighter for the fun and joy.” 💖 And from Dea, “Arrive as strangers, leave as friends. Oh, and just learn to crew a 72-foot sailing yacht in between... That was so totally awesome!!” 😃 #sailingadventure #TSYT (fb)

💥 GRIT. DETERMINATION. FASTNET 2025 TRAINING At the end of April, our selected young crew returned from five nights on board Challengers 1 and 3, preparing for the iconic 100th RORC Rolex Fastnet Race. 🧭 They trained hard. ⏱️ Slept little. 💨 Sailed over 360 nautical miles. 🌊 Crossed the Channel to France. ⏳ Faced freezing night watches. ⚓ And raced their hearts out. There was focus, fatigue, laughter, growth, and relentless effort. Lara (17) summed it up: “We've just been on one of the most amazing sailing trips I think I've ever done. Amazing views, amazing wind...”😇 Flyn (17) added: “It’s been the most spectacular crew ever!!!! We've all got on even with our differences. Spending hours and hours just fully focused and being quicker...” The crew spent long stretches on watch, sometimes six hours during the day and four at night, often pushing through exhaustion. From trimming sails at 3am to reefing in under three minutes to getting the spinnaker up and doing some bow work, they were fully committed to every moment. Caitlin (24) absorbed the experience saying: "Sailing so close to the other Challenger has been really interesting. While we were trimming, we could watch how they trimmed also, see the differences, and see which method worked faster. We’ve been able to learn from both boats this weekend, not just our own, which has been really cool." We’re all so proud of our young people. 💪 Mike Miller, Skipper of Challenger 1, said it best: “I've been so proud of the way our team is coming together, they worked really hard to get selected to be part of the Fastnet 2025 team, and since joining the team they've been working really hard to prove that they all need to be here.” WELL DONE CREW! 🏅 #TSYT #fastnetrace2025 (fb)
