It’s the trip of a lifetime, twelve months at sea on one of the most incredible yachts still sailing today, the Young Endeavour.

This year, with so much interest in the program, a nation wide ballot is being held to select the 24 young Australians who will crew alongside a team of 12 Navy Sailors. Swapping crews regularly during the trip, 200 men and women between the ages of 18 and 30, will experience what it’s really like to sail around the world.

Taking them through the roaring 40’s, the Mediterranean and around Cape Hope, it’s the first circumnavigation for the Young Endeavour in more than 20 years, so get on board! Sir Peter Cosgrove announced the ballot this week, saying:

“I think this scheme is a wonderful reflection of our national identity and values - having a go, giving it your all, being courageous in what you are attempting, making friends, being proud of what you are achieving, and enjoying and bettering yourself along the way.” “Today, I encourage Australians aged 18-30 to apply for this exciting adventure. This is a tremendous opportunity to invest your time into an unforgettable journey; a journey not only around the world, but also of self-discovery."
