Classic Sailing CIC has been established to widen access to traditional sailing, preserve maritime skills and create opportunities for more people to experience life under sail.
There are several ways to support the work of the CIC. Whether you wish to become involved personally, contribute financially or give your time, every form of support helps the CIC develop its community activities and bursary programme.
