2014 Youth Leadership Challenge aboard STV Windeward Bound, Hobart Tasmania
This is the voyage movie for the 2014 Youth Leadership Challenge aboard STV Windeward Bound out of Hobart Tasmania. The Youth Leadership Challenge, now in its fourth year, is an annual ten-day voyage aboard the STV Windeward Bound involving twenty young people. Ten are Tasmanian youth mentors selected for their leadership potential, and ten are new Tasmanians from refugee backgrounds. The YLC promotes understanding, inclusivity, and community by bringing together young people of vastly different backgrounds, and giving them the opportunity to connect and grow with one another in a unique and challenging environment.
Thank you to our 2014 funders: The Rotary Club of Hobart, The Future2 Foundation, the MyState Foundation, Tall Ships Voyaging, and the Hobart City Council.
And thank you to our community partner, the Migrant Resource Centre.

2015 YLC Promo
The Windeward Bound Trust and Rotary Club of Hobart are excited to announce the release of mentor applications for the 2015 Youth Leadership Challenge! We’d like to thank our program sponsors, Dick Smith Foods and Tall Ships Voyaging Fund, for helping to make this year’s voyage possible, as well as the Migrant Resource Centre of Southern Tasmania who provides program support.
This program, now in its fourth year, is a ten-day youth development voyage aboard STV Windeward Bound involving 20 Tasmanian youth aged 15 to 18 -- ten positive Tasmanian mentors, and ten New Tasmanians from refugee backgrounds. This program promotes understanding, inclusiveness, and community by bringing together young people of vastly different backgrounds, and giving them the opportunity to connect and grow with one another in the unique environment of a traditional sailing ship!
This year’s voyage will take place December 11th – 20th 2015, inclusive, and we are seeking applications from 15-18 year old Tasmanians with leadership experience and an interest in creating a more inclusive Tasmanian community. As usual, each mentor will be required to fundraise $1,500 in order to support the participation of one New Tasmanian. We encourage all eligible youth to apply, regardless of their financial resources. Applicants can approach their local Rotary Club for sponsorship, and a limited number of financial hardship partial scholarships will also be made available.
Applications can be downloaded from the Windeward Bound Trust website, and must be completed and returned to Stephanie Katz at windewardbound@gmail.com by 31st July.

Hello and thank you for visiting the Student Sail Training Initiative.
My name is Murray and I am a science teacher at a local high school in Sydney's south west. I work with some lovely students and I'm always looking to provide opportunities for them to expand their horizons, push their personal limits and develop the skills necessary to help them succeed in life.
For the last 13 years I have been involved with an experiential learning activity known as sail training. In Australia sail training involves taking either young people or adults to sea and teaching them how to sail a tall ship. But its not just teaching them the ropes, the process of instruction helps them build their teamwork, leadership and communication skills as well as builds their confidence and ability to generate new social networks.
It is not just a fun experience, although fun is certainly had. The principle is firmly based on the experiential learning model where the activities they undertake are set in the real world and their actions and decisions have real consequences. Back up with targeted and facilitated debriefs those who participate gain a better understanding of what it all means and how the lessons learned can be applied back to everyday life.
The reason I am seeking your support is that recently I was given an opportunity to take up to 30 students and teachers from my school on a 1-day sail training experience in Australia's own Windeward Bound. This is a limited opportunity as the ship is up in Sydney for a limited time and will return to Hobart shortly after. Once she has left the opportunities for the students to experience this type of program become more expensive and logistically more difficult.
Most of my students are from a lower socio-economic background, many are refugees and many have english as an additional language and we have found raising funds to date difficult. This is why we are seeking your support.
While we have managed to raise some of the funds required I am seeking to raise the remaining funds required to pay for the use of the vessel, the food for the day and the cost of the sail training program.
This is a unique experience for the students, and one they may never again have the chance to undertake. The benefits of increased leadership and teamwork skills along with building their inter-peer communication and personal confidence has been shown by a number of studies from the University of Edinburgh, University of Sydney, University of Otago to have great long lasting benefits for the individuals and their communities. My own research through the University of Western Sydney indicates they are likely to become more engaged with education and ongoing learning as well.
This particular activity will see both students and teachers take part, working together and forming lasting positive bonds that will both inspire encourage greater commitment to achieving the most out of life. The teachers who take part will come back more inspired and will have more tools and techniques to create engaging lessons further inspiring the students to achieve.
For privacy reasons I cannot inform you of which school, the students or the date but those who support us will receive a formal note of thanks from both myself and those who take part. This letter will highlight what the students have gained from the experience and how you have helped them achieve their goals.
Due to the time frame of the opportunity, I have until the 7th October to raise the remaining funds. Any additional funds will go towards further reducing the cost for each student and covering transport costs to and from the vessel.
Thank you once again for your support. Together we can provide opportunities like these for our students and help them become the best they can be.
Slipyards, Hobart
Ships were vital to Tasmania. It was not until the middle of the 1800s that an all weather road was constructed to Launceston, and other outlying areas remained without road links to Hobart for even longer.
Ship-building therefore was an important industry. Slip-yards were built to handle repairs as well as for the construction of new boats. The slip-yard on the Domain, in use since the 1830s was an important addition to the maritime facilities in Hobart.
This video was researched, written and prepared by TMAG volunteer Sally Rackham and narrated by Noreen Le Motte.

Tall Ships Admiral Sailing Day
The Tall ships leaving Ann and Boyd piers at Williamstown starting at 10 am for Admiral Sailing day 12 September 2013. Order Europa (bark/barque), Oosterschelde (schooner) both Dutch. Next was Windeward Bound (Hobart), Soren Larsen (Sydney) Tecla (lugger) Dutch and Lord Nelson (UK). The Royal Australian Navy's Young Endeavor left first but it was too hard to see her from where I was standing. Video shot on a HTC One XL mobile phone from Boyd pier in rain and wind. The last couple of frames are of the Lord Nelson off Williamstown back beach.
Hobart Bay Herring Sampling
We dropped into Hobart Bay, Alaska to get some herring samples for age composition of the fish returning to spawn for the Alaska Department of Fish & Game.
We were in competition with several humpback whales, dozens of seals and Stellar sea lions, hundreds of bald eagles, thousands of seagulls, and tens of thousands of surf scooters.
Hobart Bay is in in Stevens Passage, closer to Petersburg than Juneau Alaska. Pacific herring return to the shores there every spring to spawn triggering a feeding frenzy for several species. Returning stocks have not meet the minimum harvest guidelines for a commercial harvest for several years, and don't look like they will in the near future.

RICE 2017 Tasmania Southern Ocean Expedition
TALES FROM TASSIE follows the story of 20 young voyagers who are packed like sardines into a tall ship that is sailing across the Tasmanian Southern Ocean over the course of 9 days. From Triabunna to Hobart, the lads will face many trials and tribulations. Our boys have been divided up into three distinct groups: the ruthless Red Watch, the battle-hardened Blue Watch and the wild White Watch. In these respective teams, the crew have been tasked with keeping the boat up and running. This means that in shifts of 4 hours on and 8 hours off, the watches take turns waking up at unfathomable hours and making sure the ship stays on course. The film documents the struggles the group face and how they overcome these problems, from seasickness to sleep deprivation and delirium. As well as this, the students from St Kevin's College are thrust into a foreign environment that forces them to learn camaraderie and teamwork. Across the journey, the group also learn about the rich history of their surroundings, specifically its Indigenous heritage and colonial history. In the process, the boys create an experience that they will remember for years to come.

Bass Strait Cruising
This is a wonderful expose' of the noted anchorages (plus many more), for boats cruising around the many islands of Bass Strait Tasmania. Peter and his crew sail 'Leearcki', a 30 foot home built Roberts design, through the entrancing island chains that straddle both the East and West gateways into Bass Strait. Peter's DVD indicates where to anchor, how to get there, plus what to see and explore ashore. Almost 2 hours of entertainment for armchair skippers and a must reference for those wanting to cruise this fantastic waterway -- lashings of crayfish to boot.
