Who we work with
Shadowfax Racing works with a growing number of nominated partners to meet our goal to make the maximum positive impact on young people's lives using sailing as a catalyst.
We work directly with educational establishments from schools to acedemies and colleges; We also work with other sailing charities, associations and clubs take trainees who have completed a basic sailing programme and want to extend the interest to sailing and racing yachts and; We are building a network for exit partners so all of the students that complete the Shadowfax Racing programme can further continue with the sport and get the many benefits that sailing brings to ones life.

Our current partners include:
ARK Academies
From its inception in 2014, Shadowfax Racing has been working with ARK Academies in socially deprived parts of London to select trainees who will benefit the most from the programme and who would not otherwise get the opportunity to sail. We have been working alongside teachers, targeting Sixth Form students who qualify for the governments ‘Pupil Premium’ criteria. In Spring 2017, we selected students from Ark Putney Academy, Evelyn Grace Academy.

UK Sailing Association – Go Sail
In Autumn 2017, we piloted working with the UK Sailing Association (UKSA) and specifically targeting trainees on the ‘Go sail’ programme which was commissioned by Ben Ainslie’s 1851 Sailing Trust with the goal of getting 2000 young people form the deprived areas of the south coast to trial sailing. Of those 2000, the aim is to enable 14% of these trainees to go onto do more sailing. Shadowfax Racing is providing a long-term sustainable exit route for the UKSA Go Sail programme to enable trainees to continue sailing and specifically learn how to race.
The first programme was one of our most successful yet and we are developing closer ties with UKSA to run programmes in 2018 and beyond.
