Giving young people a chance to grow through competitive sailing
Shadowfax Racing, established in 2014, is a new and unique sailing charity giving young people, who wouldn’t otherwise get the chance, the opportunity to become part of a competitive race team. .
Sailing is a dynamic team sport, providing a challenging and exciting learning environment. Trainees will learn not only how to sail and race, but will also develop the social and communication skills needed to be part of a strong team. It enables them to demonstrate that they have commitment, drive and resilience and gives them confidence to try new things, meet new people and hopefully learn a love of sailing. We aim for the sailing programme to be a catalyst for change in people’s lives and to be a stepping-stone towards a better future. Read more in our About Us section.
