Promises and rules

These are strongly upheld to ensure the smooth running of each voyage and to avoid disruption to the enjoyment of other crew members.

Ocean Youth Trust Scotland promises to provide a safe and positive learning environment for everybody to experience adventure under sail.

This means the crew will be encouraged to take part in all aspects of running the sailing vessel and work will be shared evenly by all.

Everybody will have the opportunity to discuss any issues or concerns which they may have throughout the voyage.

There are some important rules which must be followed to help make this happen:

Always abide by safety instructions.

No drugs or alcohol.

Not to bully, threaten or be violent.

Always be inclusive.

No offensive behaviour or attitude.

Take a full and willing part in all the activities.

Take responsibility for the things that you say or do.

Support & respect others.

Try & learn as much as possible.

Have fun.
