Our second brig - T.S. CAROLINE ALLEN - sailed for the first time on Saturday 1st August. Completed with funding from the People's Millions Lottery Fund she sailed with her sister vessel BOB ALLEN off Cowes on Saturday afternoon. The completion of these two brigs is a major achievement for us but it is also a tribute to the late Bob Allen. He left us in August 1992 and wanted his estate to go to providing 'sail training under square rig for younger cadets'. We now have two brigs that can take 10 young people sailing to carry out that mission.
