IN PICTURES: Boating event helps young islanders to 'get afloat'

Monday 09 September 2024


Albert Pier was busier than usual at the weekend as Ports of Jersey teamed up with Le Mourier Swim-Sea-Save and South Pier Marine to try and get young people involved in maritime activities.

The 'Get Afloat' event, held on Saturday, was aimed at those aged 13 to 18 hoping to develop an interest in RIBs and sailing boats.

A number of maritime clubs, groups and organisations were involved, including: Royal Channel Islands Yacht Club, St Helier Yacht Club, St Catherine's Yacht Club, Wet Wheels, Jersey Youth Service, Jersey Marine Conservation, Jersey Coastguard, RNLI beach lifeguards, Empire Catering, and the Les Quennevais School steel band.
