Helping young people now and in the future

Boleh, a historic junk-yacht of unique design, is being restored in Portsmouth and turned into the perfect vessel for providing inspirational training to disadvantaged young people.

Boleh was built in Singapore in 1949 and sailed to the UK. In Malay Boleh means “can do”. The “can do” philosophy is at the heart of the project to restore Boleh and put her to work training and inspiring young people.

The Boleh Project, supported by the Boleh Trust:

• Is restoring an historic junk-yacht for use as a sail training vessel for young people
• Enables young people and apprentices to gain practical experience in  conservation and shipwright skills
• Allows disadvantaged young people to discover the best in themselves through skills training and sail training
