Duet documentary
ITV Anglia filmed a documentary aboard Duet to show the positive effects of an off-shore sailing voyage. The documentary followed a group of young women from Bedfordshire Youth Service on their journey of discovery down the east coast. The results support our claim that the experience we offer can change the course of a young person’s life. A copy of the documentary is available from the Cirdan Office.
