Trip Description
Brigs' adult sails are more than just a leisurely sail. You will be an active member of the ship's company, learning the ropes (literally) as well as how to steer, stand lookout, learn the names of the parts of this kind of ship, and join in essential elements of communal life on board including cooking and cleaning.
No previous experience is necessary, the ship's crew will teach you everything you need to know and you will have plenty of opportunity to practice.
When you sign onto the ship, you will take part in an induction that includes a thorough safety briefing, getting to know the other participants and crew, learning how to live on board and the basics of how to sail the ship, all of which you will then be practicing and building on over the course of the voyage.
Learn to navigate the seaway as we pass below the impressive illuminated bridges that join Canada and the United States, and salute the cargo ships that pass us by. Onwards, we will head towards Windsor, leaving Lake Erie then sail through the St. Clair River to Sarnia. On this voyage we'll be saying hello to Lake Huron and really start summer!
We will end the trip in the beautiful Port Elgin, a town with some of the most beautiful sunsets and By the end of this voyage, participants will have the skills to take on a significant degree of independence and responsibility in sailing the ships.
