STI has enjoyed a long, positive relationship with Oman. It does this by helping them to experience a sail training voyage on a Tall Ship during a Sail Training International (STI) Tall Ships Race or Regatta. It aims to foster international friendship and provide new and exciting opportunities for up to 100 young people each year. In 2012, we had the pleasure of launching a bursary scheme in partnership with the Sultanate of Oman. Whilst this voyage does not need to be a part of The Tall Ships Races, it will need to see you spend a minimum of five nights on board a vessel. In line with this commitment, we are pleased to announce that the Oman Bursary is open to anyone aged 15-25 years taking part in a Sail Training voyage this year. If you have any questions about the suitability of vessels and on board programmes, provisions for carers or anything else, please contact Vanessa Mori ( the cancellation of the Tall Ships Races 2021, Sail Training International remains committed to helping young people benefit from a Sail Training voyage.
The maximum amount awarded is £600 each (if living outside Europe, exceptions may be made for long distance travel costs). We welcome financially or physically disadvantaged people of any age, regardless of nationality, background, physical ability, or previous sailing experience. Burnett Bursary Scheme is open to anyone, but preference will be given to applicants who have never taken part in a Tall Ships Race or Regatta. After learning of the surprising range of possibilities that life on a sailing ship offers people with disabilities, they were inspired to found the bursary. His family immediately thought of John when seeing the Class A Tall Ship Tenacious (UK) in Funchal, Portugal, and speaking with its crew members. Sadly he did not survive to enjoy the retirement that, after a lifetime of hard work, he rightly deserved. He somehow still managed to find time to help others and worked with the UK charity Remap to make custom-built equipment to help disabled people live more independent lives.Īfter losing a leg to osteosarcoma, John experienced the same difficulties facing the charities beneficiaries himself. As a talented young production engineer at the onset of World War II, he wished to serve in the Royal Navy, but his skills were thought to be more valuable at home.Īfter a successful career, he founded his own manufacturing company. The bursary was founded to honour the memory of John E. The purpose of the fund is to encourage self-development by actively participating in a Sail Training voyage on a Tall Ship during a Sail Training International Tall Ships Race or Regatta. With similar goals to our other bursaries, the scheme is aimed at disabled people of any age. In line with this commitment, we are pleased to announce that the John Burnett Bursary is open to anyone aged 15-25 years taking part in a Sail Training voyage this year. Following the cancellation of the Tall Ships Races 2021, Sail Training International remains committed to helping young people benefit from a Sail Training voyage.
