At Turn to Starboard, our purpose is to harness the power of the sea to help veterans navigate their next chapter with confidence, purpose, and hope.  

Our Purpose & Values

We aim to to help veterans (including serving personnel who are medically downgraded and service leavers) regain confidence, foster camaraderie and reconnect with life through the provision of wellbeing sailing activities and RYA qualifications.
