The Trinity Sailing Trust was established in 1999. Their charitable work
has two main aims: The preservation of their three vessels by providing
them with a worthwhile modern role and aiding disadvantaged young people through offshore sea training. The Three Ships Appeal is their recently launched initiative to raise enough funds to sponsor approximately 700 youngsters a year to go to sea, and to maintain the three vessels.
