Students at Budmouth Technology College in Weymouth are working on a project as part of the Spirit of the Sea Maritime Festival , now in its second year. Students aim to create 1000 kites made from old spinnakers with designs incorporating the Jurassic coast theme. 1000 pupils, some from other schools will be joining Budmouth students on Weymouth Beach in July to fill the sky with the old spinnaker made kites of different shapes, colours and sizes as part of the festival.

They are suffering from a severe shortage of suitable spinnakers. Please contact Marcel Ciantar at Budmouth Technology College on 01305 830505 if you are able to help.
