• K1 Britannia Overview

  A very British legacy, the yacht Britannia, a replica of the King's famed racing yacht is being restored by the K1 Britannia team in Cowes on the Isle of Wight. K1 Britannia's aim is to reclaim the legacy and heritage of Britannia, to make her a flagship for charity and a whole range of activities and projects around the world.

  Wherever Britannia is seen, people will know that history is being made, her legacy is being brought back so that her noble heritage may be shared with the world. It’s all in her Latin motto: Quibus Nobilis Est Animus - Those with Noble Hearts.

• Britannia Giving

  During the months Britannia is not being used by the Trust for charity projects, Britannia will be gifted to 50-100 charities a year as a floating venue to be used for small and medium charity fundraisers internationally.

  A department of highly specialized event planners will arrange charity events, dinners, donor events, outreaches, sailing adventures, etc.

• Britannia Kids

  K1 Kids will be a community for young people that encourages lifelong associations with the Britannia, and in addition provides an environment for creating new and lasting friendships as a result of the kids’ experiences and involvement with the Britannia.

  Furthermore, K1 Kids will provide a forum for educating young people in the historical, legacy and noble aspects related to the Britannia as well as raising their awareness of global oceanic environmental issues.

• Britannia Events

  Coming soon: Britannia Events calender givng you a clear schedule of the events and programs connected to the Britannia throughout the world.

Coming Shortly!
