What type of people are we?
We are just local folk,of all ages, who are determined, to enable M.V. Freedom to sail as often as possible and to ensure that every passenger has the best possible nautical adventure.
What do you need to be a Friend?
A sense of humour, spare time and the ability to work as part of a team.
Throughout our sailing season Skippers and Crew are available to sail 2 trips a day from Monday to Friday.
In November the Boat is lifted out of the water, Crew, Skippers and other Friends of M.V. Freedom work on her upkeep and maintenance. It is impossible to guesstimate the amount of man-hours that this dedicated team, gives freely to the charity.
They all feel that they are more than rewarded, by the joy and fun that they share with our passengers.
