UNCHARTED - The Unlikely Voyage of Aurora - Season 1
Coming soon!
Season 1 - Summary
“Uncharted: The Story of Aurora” tells how the Lichtfuss family’s impulsive decision to buy a yacht on Sydney Harbour evolves into a mix of youth sailing, Scouting, and health innovation. What starts as casual cruising leads to leading Sea Scouts, creating a kids’ sailing program at Port Melbourne Yacht Club, and demonstrating how short sailing experiences can boost confidence and resilience. Encounters with European programs like Leman Hope and the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust inspire the idea that sailing can be a structured health intervention and a partnership with Swinburne University, which researches sailing’s impact on mental health, self-esteem, social connection, and wellbeing. Season 1 ends with Aurora becoming a “floating laboratory” at the crossroads of sailing, outdoor education, youth development, and health innovation.
