MAST
MERSEYSIDE ADVENTURE SAILING TRUST
Merseyside Adventure Sailing Trust is a charity based in Liverpool, managed by a small and dedicated group of Trustees, Ambassadors and Volunteers.
There is no more dramatic way of developing young peoples’ potential than through the Tall Ship educational experience, as hundreds of young people sailing with MAST have already discovered.
Whatever a young person’s background, all voyages are inclusive and Sail Training is an experience which allows young people to discover their true mettle and spirit and earn the respect of their peer group.
Welcome from the Chair
Thank you for visiting us here at MAST. We believe that every young person should be given the opportunity to develop themselves through guidance and practical support so they can achieve excellence. We want to give you, the young people, a chance to experience life at sea to find excellence, respect, aspirations and to find innovation! The river is in my DNA and is the lifeblood of our city, give yourself the ability to embrace it for yourself.
I look forward to sailing with you.
Jim,
