Windeward Bound is a charity founded in 1999. The Windeward Bound Trust also aims to foster good character and a spirit of enterprise in the youth of Australia generally,
including youth disadvantaged or hampered by circumstances who could not otherwise participate. It is the principal philosophy of the Trust that no young person should ever miss out on the Windeward Bound opportunity because of personal circumstances or lack of funds.

They had an event last weekend at the Maritime Museum in Darling Harbour to welcome a group of kids who had sailed from Tasmania. What a treat!
The participants were clear-eyed, confident and excited by what they had experienced. It was not without its challenges. One of the party had a medical emergency and was evacuated. Even the Captain suffered a little sea sickness.
It's a transformational program. Most of the young people on the board had never left Tasmania. They had had their eyes opened to what they were capable of becoming. How powerful is that?
Our Club funded two participants about a year ago. We and have another opportunity coming up. On 10th May, you can attend the departure at the Maritime Museum and be there when they return by air to the airport on the 20th
