The Windeward-Bound Sailing Adventure is a leadership program run by the Windeward Bound Trust and Rotary Tasmania that promotes understanding, inclusiveness, and community by bringing together 20 young people between the ages of 15-18 of vastly different backgrounds for a ten-day voyage aboard the STV Windeward Bound, and giving them the opportunity to connect and grow with one another in both the short and long term.

The brigantine "Windeward Bound" is a 33 metre ‘tall ship.’The trip from Hobart to Bundaberg and back to Hobart runs from July to December. Chris will be giving the club an update on the program.
