Sailing hasn't always been a sport for inner-city state schools like the Greig City Academy (GCA). But they've shown it can be accessible to everyone, with amazing results.

The Greig City Sailing Academy Sailing Programme was kick started in 2014. Jon Holt, GCA's Head of Outdoor Education, was driving students down from North London to Poole for sailing weekends. They loved getting out on the water and some of them wanted to take it further.

On Thursday 26th June we gathered at the Royal Ocean Racing Club in London to hear from students at the Greig City Academy, Jon Holt with America's Cup legend David 'Freddie' Carr talking to the sailors.

Unfortunately Freddie went to the Royal Ocean Racing Club in Cowes, so Mark Jardine stepped in to ask the students questions, and they were undoubtedly the stars of the show with some fantastic insights as to what they do and how sailing has helped them.
