The Ocean Youth Trust's Oyster 68, 'Lord Rank', which has been in Galway Docks almost a week, will leave the city tomorrow after a week of opportunities for young Galwegians to try out life on the ocean wave.

The boat is the perfect platform for viewing the sea trials of the Green Dragon Volvo Open 70.

Lord Rank can take twelve trainees of any age (€50 per person per day including lunch and wet-gear or €600 to charter the entire boat). This magnificent vessel comes equipped with a professional crew. Spaces are still available on the voyage from Galway to Cork from 1 to 4 August.

Ocean Youth Trust Ireland is a sail training charity committed to working with young people from all backgrounds throughout Ireland. The Trust is dedicated to training the leaders of tomorrow by empowering and supporting them to succeed in one of the most challenging environments known to man, the Ocean.

For more information on the Trust and its work visit www.oyti.org and see how you can get involved today. Donations or sponsorships are always. For more information, call Ben Craig on 048-9045 4472.
