In April, Katie Miller who has been a volunteer for the trust for the last two years,  will set sail from Hamble to begin what could be the biggest adventure of her life so far - to singlehandedly circumnavigate the United Kingdom in aid of the trust, Kaitie is aiming to raise £10,000 for the trust.

The countdown began this week when Elektra a 21ft Newbridge Corribee was launched at Crusader Sails base in Cobb's Quay in Poole (the team at Crusader have supported Katie - by providing new sails for the trip).

Regular updates on Katie's preparation and her trip will appear here and on katies site www.thechallenge2006.co.uk
