As the name implies this Bursary is paid for by the very generous legacy left by the author Ralph Hammond Innes, a great supporter of Sail Training.

The Hammond Innes Bursary is to be used to:

  • Provide funding for young people, aged 25 or under, or people with special needs of any age, to take part in a Sail Training voyage.
  • Offset the costs of training volunteers and staff.

“...To take one step nearer to adulthood.”
