	Sail Training International - International Research
		Sail Training International invited (May 2005) some 50 Universities and other institutions with relevant experience around the world to submit proposals for the conduct of an international research project into the value and effectiveness of the sail training experience for young people.
		Indeed, a single study of any kind as a ‘silver bullet’ to validate sail training in all its forms and for a wide range of audiences and purposes is just not practical.
		The study will exclude ‘special purpose’ sail training projects, such as voyages for people with disabilities or those specifically disadvantaged in other ways, or voyages on vessels operated by, for example, a school exclusively for its own pupils (although the study is expected to produce data and conclusions of value to these programmes also).

	Sail training - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		By 1900 most commercial sailing vessels were struggling to turn a profit in the face of competition from more modern steam ships which had become efficient enough to steam shorter great circle routes between ports instead of the longer trade wind routes used by sailing ships.
		While many countries of the world operated sailing ships as training vessels for officers in their Merchant Marine in the 1920’s and 30’s, several sailing ship owners such as Carl Laeisz and Gustav Erickson determined that there was still a profit to be made from the last of the sailing ships.
		While the summer race series are the pinnacle of the sail training experience, most maritime nations have government, private and charitably funded ships preserving the ways of seamen from a time gone by, helping the youth and the “young at heart” find themselves and working somewhere off their coasts on short trips year round.

		The American Sail Training Association (www.sailtraining.org) lists over 250 such vessels in their directory, and all of them need qualified and certified mates and masters.
