Teen Sailing Programs aboard Schooner Brilliant
Coed, Ages 15 - 18
Experience the adventure and challenge of sailing while visiting New England harbors and towns aboard schooner Brilliant. Nine teenage participants, on either five- or ten-day voyages, work together under the guidance of the professional crew to safely sail hundreds of miles and learn traditional seamanship skills.
The Brilliant program focuses on educating participants about sail handling and theory, teamwork, being a good shipmate, stewardship, navigation, and proper seamanship. All teens are expected to fully participate in all aspects of daily vessel operations from hauling on lines and steering to helping in the galley.
Participants must be physically fit and agile as well as competent swimmers to take part in the sailing program. Once you reserve a berth aboard Brilliant, you will be sent a health form, letter of agreement, and a booklet of information outlining what to bring, arrival information, as well as many other details. No previous sailing experience is necessary. All voyages begin at 9 a.m. and end at 4 p.m.
