Join us at Plymouth Boatfest and step aboard Helen Mary R. Meet the Morvargh team, explore our Sail Training vessel and hear about our adventures arou
Helen Mary R is heading to Plymouth Boatfest, and we’d love to welcome you aboard.
Throughout the event, Helen Mary R will be open to visitors. Come aboard, explore our 57-foot Sail Training vessel, see where our young crews live and sail, and meet some of the people behind Morvargh Sailing Project.
We’ll be sharing more about our Sail Training voyages, opportunities for young people, and the story of ASPIRE360, following our 2,000-mile circumnavigation of the UK with one extraordinary crew of young people.
Whether you’re interested in sailing with us, supporting our work, volunteering, partnering with Morvargh, or simply want to explore Helen Mary R, please come and say hello.
We’d be delighted to welcome you aboard.
As a recognised training centre of the Royal Yachting Association, we offer young people the opportunity to work towards nationally recognised qualifications during selected voyages.
Participants can progress through:
These qualifications are not delivered in a classroom setting; they are earned through real experience at sea. Every task, from helming and sail handling to navigation and teamwork, contributes towards progression. For many young people, this provides both a clear sense of achievement and a recognised pathway within Sail Training. It strengthens confidence, builds practical skills, and offers a tangible outcome from their time on board.
We strive to create the most exciting and enriching itineraries and embrace the unpredictability of nature as part of our adventures.
Our voyages offer a unique opportunity to connect with the elements and experience the thrill of sailing offshore. While weather conditions can occasionally alter our plans, these moments of adaptability only add to the journey and lead to the most remarkable discoveries.
Come aboard with an open mind and an adventurous spirit, and let's set sail together on an extraordinary journey filled with exciting possibilities.
We run a number of open voyages from April to October each year, the next four are shown below. Alternatively, view all voyages.
