Sail Training International provides a body of independent academic research validating the power and value of sail training in the personal development of young people.

A selection of these studies, as well as tools for self-evaluation of sail training programs, can be downloaded by financial members of Tall Ships Australia and New Zealand from the Sail Training International website here.

Information on the Blue Flag Scheme, the International Sail Endorsement Scheme, Safety Management Systems, and the European Union Green Paper on Maritime Policy is also available from the Sail Training International website here.
