Boleh Project

Last week Boleh had a very special visitor, HRH Princess Anne. A very special day with all of our supporters, funders and beneficiaries coming together to celebrate the recommissioning of Yacht Boleh for her continued charitable work. #boleh #bolehproject #royalvisit #charity

We’re delighted to see the @ACF_Devon back onboard Boleh for their annual Summer expedition. The weather and Boleh’s dinghy ensured plenty of swimming and beach BBQs! More: bolehproject.com/devon-cadets-b… #boleh #bolehtrust #bolehproject #devonarmycadetforce

This year the Trust is privileged to have a new client - the RN Wounded Injured and Sick (WIS) Recovery Programme – generously funded by the RN&RM Charity. Boleh delivered the first 5 day course for a WIS group earlier this Season. Find out more: bolehproject.com/boleh-helps-he…

We’re delighted to report that Craig Coupe is joining the Boleh Team as Operations Director for The Boleh Trust. A Yacht Master (Offshore), Cruising Instructor and Duke of Edinburg Award Assessor, he has worked within the outdoor educational sector for many years.

We’re happy to say our lead Skipper Richard Metcalfe, with Boleh volunteers and friends, successfully extricated Boleh from Birdham Pool last week, returning her to her Haslar operating base. Boleh is now ready for her busy 2022 sailing programme. #BolehTrust #Boleh

The past year has been full of obstacles. Thanks to the support of our donors and volunteers, we are proud to say that Boleh has taken these on, delivering a full and successful charitable sailing programme. Happy Christmas and a safe and peaceful New Year to all our supporters.

Boleh is now bedded down at Birdham for her winter maintenance which will be carried out thanks to a generous grant from the Nuffield Trust and a welcome donation from our steadfast supporter the Payne-Gallwey Charitable Trust. More: bolehproject.com/boleh-beds-dow… #BolehProject

‘Two fantastic days sailing’ put smiles on the faces St Jude’s School pupils who were among the last to experience a day out in Boleh this Season. We look forward to renewing our relationship with our Gosport, Fareham and Portsmouth friends next year.

We're thrilled that Boleh has at last been able to celebrate the postponed anniversary of her arrival in Salcombe from Singapore on 1 September 1950. We hope to post more coverage of Boleh’s historic return to Salcombe shortly. Link: bolehproject.com/boleh-celebrat… #Boleh #BolehTrust

Boleh will be at the ‘Gosport Marine Festival 2021’ on 4th Sep. Come and see us at Haslar Marina and learn about Boleh and our charitable work. We will be open from 11am - 4pm, see you then! More info: portsmouthharbourmarine.org.uk/events/gosport… #Boleh #GosportMarineFestival

Students from Dorset Studio and Wey Valley schools have been able to swap their classrooms in exchange for a day on the water with Boleh. This has been achieved thanks to the Chesil Sailing Trust whose ‘sail-for-a-fiver’ scheme sponsors this Boleh programme. #BolehTrust

We’re delighted to say Boleh is back alongside in Haslar Marina after her winter refit at Birdham Pool in the skilled hands of Tim Gilmore and team. Thanks to generous donors and amazing volunteers, Boleh is now once again ‘fit for purpose’. More: bolehproject.com/boleh-back-at-…

On 1 Sep 1950, Boleh dropped anchor off the Ferry Steps in Salcombe to a 3 gun salute from the Yacht Club. Her crew, ‘weary but triumphant’, had completed an epic 12,000 voyage from Singapore and were featured in the next day’s national press. bolehproject.com/70th-anniversa… #Boleh
