The Jubilee Sailing Trust have scheduled a number of voyages on the tall ship Tenacious for both disabled and able-bodied sailors as part of a three-month prorgamme in New Zealand.

The JST, a charitable organisation which originated in the UK in 1978, takes both disabled and able-bodied men and women to sea, to not only teach them how to crew a tall ship, but also to promote equality, sharing and to celebrate individual differences by working together.

The Tenacious, which is the world's largest operational wooden ship, will make an inaugural passage from Australia to New Zealand and is due to arrive in Wellington on May 23.

The arrival of SV Tenacious coincides with the establishment of the Jubilee Sailing Trust as a charity in New Zealand to help promote social inclusion, integration and diversity within the local community.

The ship will then run a programme around parts of New Zealand, including the Hauraki Gulf, Bay of Plenty and the Bay of Islands.

Crew of all ages, backgrounds and abilities are welcome to sign up, with voyages ranging from one day to 14 days. For more information, contact the New Zealand office on 09 887 5672 or info@jst.org.nz.
