Sailing charity buoyed up by Lottery grant

An Exeter charity which teaches young people to sail on historic wooden boats has won Lottery funding for a restoration project.

 

The Island Trust will get more than 65 thousand pounds to preserve and restore its vessel called Moosk, which was built in 1906 and has been owned by an earl and an MP.

Moosk is one of three boats used to take young people - often with disabilities or from a disadvantaged background - out to sea.
