Jubilee Sailing Trust Shutting Down After Fundraising Efforts Fail

After years of financial struggle, the Jubilee Sailing Trust has announced the closure of the company that owns and operates the tall ship SV Tenacious.

The charity Jubilee Sailing Trust (JST) was founded in 1978 and has taken over 55,000 people to sea. The future of a charity offering sailing experiences to disabled people is uncertain after its associated company went into administration.

The SV Tenacious is a modern British wooden sail training ship, specially designed in the 1990s. When completed in 2000, it was the largest wooden ship to be built in the UK for over 100 years. Along with the STS Lord Nelson, the two vessels are the only tall ships in the world that were built so that both disabled and non-disabled people can sail as crew, not passengers. The Lord Nelson was put up for auction in June of 2023.
