Jubilee Sailing Trust

[1] Founded in 1978 with money from the Silver Jubilee of Elizabeth II fund by Christopher Rudd, a keen sailor, its aims are: "To integrate both able-bodied and disabled persons through Tall Ship sailing".

[2] In early pilot schemes including voyages in the square-rigged vessels the Marques, TS Royalist and (between 1982 and 1985) Søren Larsen, it was established that square-riggers were suitable for fulfilling the Trust's aims.

Despite a successful business model selling spaces on their tall ship, JST also relies on funding, donations, and corporate partnerships to achieve their vision.

As of 2022, JST had nine 'Champions' including: Actisense,[6] Ardent Training,[7] Classic Sailing,[8] Cruising Association, easyBoat,[9] English Braids, Hill Dickinson LLP, AH Monsen Ltd,[10] and Swig Wines.

[15][16] In May 2022, Peter Cardy, former CEO of the Maritime & Coastguard Agency and Sail Training International, after reviewing the recent history of the JSA and its challenges, concluded, "Without a radical change of programme, and effective marketing of a focus and quality not seen for many years, merely tinkering with the model means the maelstrom awaits yet again.
