"Sailing is a metaphor for life, You have to trim your sails and set your course, and you are going to get buffeted around…. It is life changing and transformational"
Our Story
Welcome to Old Saltys – Well Weathered Wisdom, where we celebrate the spirit of community and imparting knowledge and wisdom across generations. Our mission is to capture and share the extraordinary life stories of community members as we sail the Mark Twain, a famous Sydney to Hobart Yacht, from community to community throughout Australia and New Zealand.

Our Journey
As we sail from port to port, we gather and celebrate the remarkable stories of individuals who have weathered life’s challenges and emerged with wisdom and insights to share. These extraordinary community members generously impart their life experiences, skills, and knowledge, empowering the youth and fostering a sense of connection and relatedness within the community.
