“I cannot remember laughing this hard for so many days in my life. It was pure joy and every moment of the trip was amazing. My world has opened up and I have made friends for life.”

“Sailing has given me a new lease of life and a newer version of me, even though I’ve had this diagnosis. I’ve had some great times and met amazing people. With these experiences comes confidence and a strength that no matter what, I won’t be held back. We’re a family that helps one another and shows people that we can do anything…slightly differently, but we can.”

“Oceans of Hope sailing is my life saver. My first challenge in Croatia was a big turning point in my mental well being. And after an epic challenge from Portsmouth to Belfast I think I can conquer the world.”
