Olivia Returns from an Unforgettable RYST Sailing Adventure

H Tiddy and Fine & Country Mid West Cornwall are delighted to welcome home Olivia, 16, from Gorran Haven, following an amazing 10-day offshore sailing expedition to France aboard Helen Mary R.

Olivia was co-sponsored by H Tiddy and Fine & Country as part of their sixth consecutive year supporting young people through the Roseland Youth Sailing Trust (RYST).


Following her return, Olivia summed up the experience:
"10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND! I wish I could replay every moment as this trip has got to be one of the best voyages I have ever been on. What an opportunity I have been given! Thanks so much H Tiddy and Fine & Country."

She added:
"The new friends that I have made are for life and the memories that have been created are forever. The dolphins, tuna, sunrise and seasick will never be forgotten."

Before leaving, Olivia had hoped the voyage would challenge her, build her confidence and give her the opportunity to meet new people and experience marine wildlife. Her words on returning show just how much the adventure delivered.

Mark Willson, Co-owner and Director of H Tiddy and Fine & Country Mid West Cornwall, said:
"It is wonderful to hear what an incredible experience Olivia has had. This is exactly why we are so proud to support RYST. The friendships, confidence and memories these voyages create can stay with young people for many years to come."

Olivia follows Bea (2021), Wilf (2022), Skye (2023), Phoebe (2024) and Archie (2025) as the sixth young voyager supported by H Tiddy and Fine & Country.

Everyone at H Tiddy and Fine & Country Mid West Cornwall congratulates Olivia and Team Helen Mary R on completing their adventure and wishes them every success for the future.
