Join us next summer for a life-elevating European sailing expedition, a singular adventure experience conceived by an outdoor education specialist especially for teenagers!

A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its original dimensions.”
— Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

There’s nothing prosaic about a QBE European Leadership School maritime adventure—a three-week team sailing expedition for high-school students. We use uncommon, extremely impressive gaff-rig sailboats to take crew members to off-the-beaten-path ports and anchorages along the magical coastlines of western France and southern England. Nothing beats the camaraderie, daily adrenaline rushes, and life-elevating personal satisfaction of small-yacht traditional sailing, especially in our special corner of Europe. Why not feel the wind in your hair this summer? Join us for a one-of-a-kind outdoor experience!
