The main aim of the charity is to preserve the last remaining examples of traditional wooden fishing vessels from the north of the Isle of Lewis and keep them in use. To do this we maintain the vessels using traditional boatbuilding skills which we share with volunteers and guests. We aim to keep the vessels in use and regularly invite charity members and guests to join us sailing. We also work together with other local organisations to take part in a variety of activities such as historical re-enactments, gala/open days and cultural events.

Objectives: 4 The organisation’s purposes are: 4.A To promote and preserve, in the interests of social welfare and education, an active interest in local maritime history, heritage and culture. 4.B To promote education through developing maritime skills and a better understanding of the marine and coastal environment. 4.C To share skills and knowledge relating to the sailing, maintenance and preservation of traditional Hebridean sailing vessels. 4.D To cultivate reciprocal relations with organisations that have similar aims, relevant educational objectives or which may otherwise support or benefit the Society. 4.E Any such other lawful activities as are incidental or conducive to the attainment of the foregoing purposes
