Chance to sail on tall ship
Lord Nelson
The Lord Nelson will visit Jersey in June
People in Jersey are being given the opportunity to join the crew of a tall ship.

The Jubilee Sailing Trust is hoping islanders will come forward to take part when square-rigger Lord Nelson visits the island in June.

The Trust organises voyages for people with any level of physical ability - they can be a complete novice or an experienced yachtsman.

The Jersey branch of the Trust is encouraging more local people to sign up for a voyage.

Each trip can take up to 40 crew, and a 'buddy' system is used which means one person with a disability teams up with another crew member.

Some voyages cost from around �500, but the Trust may be able to help with finances.

Destinations include ports in the UK, Germany and Amsterdam.
