Nothing beats the camaraderie, daily adrenaline rushes, and game-changing personal satisfaction of team sailing on 46ft gaff-rig cutters.

“As a parent l can say that my daughter’s three weeks with QBE in August 2023 [was] the single most remarkable experience of her life. […] To say that it was a sailing trip does not do justice to her ‘growing up’ experiences.”
