TECTONA TRUST
We help people of all ages, including those with mental health issues and those recovering from substance mis-use, to benefit from experience sailing on traditional sailing craft and maintaining the craft. This is achieved using the sailing vessels "Tectona" and "Olga", operated by our subsidiary not for profit company Sailing Tectona CIC.
