• Robert Carson
• Tackling the South of Ireland

35

• About me
• Robert Carson
• 31 years old
• Ex corporate marketer from PennWell a global
  event organiser and publisher.
• I have seen the light and have been working for
  the Ocean Youth Trust Ireland since
• the end of January.
• Now based in Dublin in the Dublin City Moorings.
• Specific project is to emulate the success of the
  Ocean Youth Trust in the North and
• build more of a presence in the South.
• I also aim to
• Become a much better sailor
• Create the worlds best social scene in Dublin
  around the OYTI

36

• The basics
• Youth groups
• Volunteers
• Funding
• We need to build a basic product in the South
  with which to build on. From there we
• can build our marketing and fundraising
  functions.
• We aim to build an Ocean Youth Trust Ireland
  community in the South with regular
• communications and regular meetings in various
  pubs in Dublin!
• We want to have a series of local ambassadors for
  the Ocean Youth Trust Ireland
• who will help pass our message on throughout
  their spheres and who will enjoy the
• social side of the trust.

37

• Building the product
• We have committed to having the Lord Rank sail
  here in the South for a minimum of
• 11 voyages.
• This equates to at least 110 young people (this
  does not include volunteers).
• This includes the Round Ireland trip (9th July
  26th August).
• The following are the planned stops in the South
• Achill
• Galway
• Fenit
• Cobh
• Waterford
• Dublin

38

• Building the product
• Using the Round Ireland trip as an example, the
  way we are building this is
• Youth Groups
• We are contacting local county council community
  and enterprise officers to identify
• youth groups in the area that would be interested
  in taking part. The next stage is to
• visit the groups and get their active
  participation.
• Volunteers
• We will build a volunteer base through third
  party marketing and through contact and
• presentations made to groups. Initially targeted
  are university sailing clubs in the
• areas where we plan to stop over. We will then
  use contacts and ideas supplied by
• the regional chairmen of the Ocean Youth Trust
  Ireland. We will also back this up
• with information sent to every sailing club in
  Ireland and through local media
• involvement.

39

• Building the product
• Funding
• We will approach this from two directions.
  Firstly with the youth groups and the
• council contacts that we made through the
  identification process we will apply for
• local funding. Then we will target local
  businesses for sponsorships. We will identify
• a number of different sponsorship packages for
  them to take up.
• Attention at each port
• We will be in contact with local media, local
  council officers and local business
• leaders throughout the process. When the boat
  comes in to each port we will aim to
• have a local reception and party. We will aim to
  get as much PR exposure as
• possible in each place. This will give us a
  foothold in each place and somewhere we
• can build from.

40

• Other projects
• Crew Register
• A project based around linking people who want to
  go sailing and crew with yacht
• owners.
• Adventurepreneurship
• A competition to find 12 young entrepreneurs from
  around Ireland. The 12 winners
• will go on a 6 day course at the Ryan academy and
  a voyage on the Lord Rank
• designed to teach the basics of business and team
  work.
