Support Scaramouche Sailing Trust
The Scaramouche Sailing Trust creates life-changing opportunities for young people from London's diverse communities through the power of sailing. The Trust supports the sailing programme of the Greig City Academy and has transformed the lives and prospects of many inner-city students. They have won a string of awards including the 2024 British Yachting Award Young Sailor of the Year and the 2024 British Yachting Award Charity of the Year.
All proceeds from the race — entry fees and sponsorship, less third-party costs — are donated to the Trust. Six young Scaramouche sailors will be racing alongside you on the day, and others are volunteering to help with boats and trailers. Your support helps change their outcomes at school and in life.
If you'd like to support their work, please consider making a donation via our JustGiving fundraiser:
