The Good Cause Sailing Company (TGCSC) has a

long standing connecon with good causes lo-

cally and naon wide. Our three founding direc-

tors, Alasdair, Heather and Roy, were all in-volved in managing a sailing charity. Over a

three year period they successfully completed

the build of a tall ship (albeit a small one) and

took over 1000 young people sailing all over the

UK. It is with the same good will mentality that

they wish to move forward and assist chari-

es, individuals and companies/organisaons in

raising not only as much funding as possible

through the median of sailing, but also vital

publicity.

We can organise and deal with all the technical

sailing issues such as legislaon, charter, skippers

as well as catering and branding of both boats

and clothing. Save me and money, let us do

your hard work.
