COURSE DESCRIPTION

​Live on-board one of our 30' ketch rigged (3 sails - jib, main, mizzen) traditional wooden sailboats for 7 days and 6 nights; they are very sturdy and very seaworthy.

​

Learn to handle wind, waves and weather with confidence as you choose your own adventure with your team of crew mates. No sailing experience is necessary - we'll teach you what you need to know. If you do have a background in sailing, we'll build on those basics with a great experience of small boat coastal sailing.​

​

The trip will leave from our boathouse in historic Lunenburg on the south shore and return to Lunenburg. Sailing during the day, anchoring at night and sleeping on-board. Trips are participant-led; meaning the crew decides together where they go, how they get there, and what activities the day may hold. Each trip is different, each crew is different - it's your adventure - you decide how you want to live it! 

​

As a crew you will work together to do everything that needs to be done. You learn how to sail, row, navigate by chart and compass, prepare meals, build on-board shelter, make decisions about where to go and how to get there, be mindful & respectful of the ocean, how to be responsible for yourself and responsibility for the safety of the boat and her crew.

​

TUITION INCLUDES

Tuition for this trip includes all group gear such as sleeping bags, sleeping mats, tarps, foul weather (heavy rain) gear (including rubber boots), eating gear & food, etc.  Participants are responsible for assembling the clothing items in their pack list.  If you do not have or cannot find a clothing item, we have a collection of clothing to lend, which we are happy to lend you on the condition that you let us know ahead of time.
