Well winter is still rolling along with a fresh Nor'Easter rattling the windows of the office with the snow piling up against the shop and shipyard buildings. But the shop stove is still chugging along keeping us warm as we work down through the multitude of projects we have to get finished up before we can welcome all our guests and friends back aboard so soon.

We still have a great variety of trips open for small groups and big groups alike. A few I would highly recommend are:

Sat. June 10^th - Thurs. June 15^th

Great music and a fleet raft up, come join the entire Maine Windjammer Fleet toasting the new season in with style! With an extra night added for even more exploring after the fleet-wide get-together, it is an incredible time to harness the last breezes of spring.

6-night Photography & Fourth of July Race:

Sun. July 2^nd - Sat. July 8^th

Certainly one of my personal favorite trips of the entire season. A classic 6-night Windjamming trip with the added excitement of a day of racing against all our friends and colleagues in the Maine Windjamming fleet. It is an amazing mixture of a quintessential week-long trip and the thrill and competition of a race among talented sailors and guests alike as we all cheer each other on while simultaneously trying to get the better of each other.

Longtime friends of the schooner and exceedingly talented photographers Sean and Tracy Sheppard will also be joining us for this trip for their informal and very informative photography workshop aboard.

Tues. June 20^th - Sat. June24^th

Sat. Sept. 16^th - Wed. Sept. 20^th

We are so thrilled to welcome Carol Douglas back again for her two watercolor workshops that she hosts with us. There are so many deeply beautiful scenes to capture, whether you choose to come in the summer or the fall. Sailing and painting don't seem to mix (even though the crew and I do a heck of alot of painting to go sailing), but the experience of being able to learn about capturing color, motion, depth, all while the subjects change just slowly enough to capture them as they go by, all without leaving your seat! We have a grand time painting onboard no matter the weather and the art that comes out of it all is always a joy.

Give us a call or an email if you have any questions about these or any other trips on our schedule
