Great feedback from the final youth voyage of 2025:
“I am so glad to have found my place on board Prolific - I look forward to stowing away on board! Best bit: waking up to a very beautiful sunrise in Lymington, and sailing into Portsmouth when we had a beautiful sunset following torrential rain.”

Great feedback from our voyage with @testbourne.bsky.social :
“I had never sailed before and had no idea what to do, but by the end of our 5 days the crew (us) were sailing and controlling the boat!”
“The best bit was cooking because I haven't cooked a full meal [before].”
