Rotary and Windeward Bound present the 2026 Youth Adventure Voyage

The Windeward Bound Trust is seeking applications from all interested and adventurous young people (14-17 years old) to join us for this voyage of adventure!

Voyage participants will become a core part of the ship at sea. Everyone on board is a vital member of the team with their own roles and responsibilities. They will need to work within their teams to face challenges and build communication skills. Sail Training, which is a strong base of the Windeward Bound voyage program, has been used for centuries to support the development of leadership, confidence, work skills and communication skills in young people. Many participants reflect that they have learned many things that support them, even many years later in life.

This Voyage leaves from and returns to Hobart allowing much adventure in Tasmanian waters and opportunities for sailing and navigation.

Apply now! Complete the application form and save your berth!
