Last week Boleh had a very special visitor, HRH Princess Anne. A very special day with all of our supporters, funders and beneficiaries coming together to celebrate the recommissioning of Yacht Boleh for her continued charitable work.

‘Two fantastic days sailing’ put smiles on the faces St Jude’s School pupils who were among the last to experience a day out in Boleh this Season.

We look forward to renewing our relationship with our Gosport, Fareham and Portsmouth friends next year.

We're thrilled that Boleh has at last been able to celebrate the postponed anniversary of her arrival in Salcombe from Singapore on 1 September 1950. We hope to post more coverage of Boleh’s historic return to Salcombe shortly.

Students from Dorset Studio and Wey Valley schools have been able to swap their classrooms in exchange for a day on the water with Boleh.

This has been achieved thanks to the Chesil Sailing Trust whose ‘sail-for-a-fiver’ scheme sponsors this Boleh programme.

On 1 Sep 1950, Boleh dropped anchor off the Ferry Steps in Salcombe to a 3 gun salute from the Yacht Club. Her crew, ‘weary but triumphant’, had completed an epic 12,000 voyage from Singapore and were featured in the next day’s national press.
