Finding The Ropes
Falmouth School of Sailing in partnership with Trysail Sailing centre and the Cornwall Marine network have successfully developed a new educational and learning experience for young people in Cornwall that takes place on a Fleet of Yachts sailing from Falmouth.

The ‘Finding the Ropes’ project is aimed at providing education resulting in recognised qualifications and personal development to young people who may beat risk of disengaging with formal education or employment and encouraging their re-engagement with the learning process. It is a fully funded course for young people meeting the necessary criteria for eligibility.

There are a few remaining places on these courses during October and November. If you are an educational organisation or other youth focused agency please get in touch with us to find out about eligibility, availability and how to apply for fully funded spaces on this project.

BDMLR - Helping to recover marine life from the beaches
Rob and Jason were invited to attended a Marine Life Rescue Training course in Exmouth at the brand new Exmouth Lifeboat Station.

The British Diver Marine Life Rescue course teaches you how to help stranded, injured and beached seals, dolphins and whales to either return to the sea or if necessary have further medical assistance. FSOS have been doing a lot of training with and for the BDMLR in Helm-person training and the safety on board powerboats.

The course took place on the beach just in front of the brand new lifeboat station.
