⚓ HMS PEGASUS at Maritime Reserves SAILEX 2026 ⚓

A member of HMS PEGASUS has returned from serving as a skipper during this year’s Maritime Reserves SAILEX, held on the Solent over the weekend.

SAILEX is designed to deliver offshore sailing, seamanship and navigation training to personnel from across the Maritime Reserves, with a particular focus on developing junior officers and ratings. This year, five yachts from the Joint Services Adventurous Sail Training Centre (JSASTC) in Gosport, each crewed by five sailors, took part in a programme of sailing exercises, including overnight stays in Cowes and Lymington marinas.

The exercise is self-supporting, requiring each yacht to be provided with a suitably qualified skipper and mate from participating units.

Reflecting on the weekend, the HMS PEGASUS skipper said:

“SAILEX is a fantastic exercise which fully embraces the ‘Sailor First’ initiative. The emphasis is on providing a challenging but controlled environment in which to develop leadership, teamwork and decision-making skills through offshore sailing. It is rewarding to see so many people new to sailing develop their confidence and abilities over the course of the weekend.

The exercise also demonstrates the significant value Reservists bring through their enthusiasm and diverse backgrounds, skills and experiences. Although the weather was kind to us, we still enjoyed some challenging sailing, and my crew certainly captured the excitement and enjoyment of being on the water. I hope some have caught the sailing bug and will return to JSASTC to gain the qualifications needed to support future exercises themselves.

This year’s SAILEX was a great success, and we are extremely grateful to the Ulysses Trust for its continued support.”

The Ulysses Trust provides financial support for members of the UK Volunteer Reserve, University Officers’ Training Corps and Cadet Forces, enabling them to undertake challenging expeditions and adventurous training activities.

Well done to everyone involved in another successful SAILEX. ⛵️
