Applications are being invited for the 2013 Jersey Clipper Bursary following new funding that has helped to secure its future for the next four years. Nigel Philpott, until recently the Island’s Director of High Net Worth Residency, has donated £1,800 to the Bursary funds, enough to cover the award for the next three years.

A keen boat-owner, Mr Philpott has been presented with the model of Jersey Clipper, previously housed in the Maritime Museum, in recognition of his gift and has arranged for the model to be prominently displayed in the Royal Channel Islands Yacht Club at St Aubin.

In addition, the Island’s three former Harbourmasters – Capt Roy Bullen, Capt Brian Nibbs and Capt Howard Le Cornu – have jointly pledged an additional £600 to the Bursary funds, ensuring a further year’s award.
