Teen Sailing Programs aboard Schooner Brilliant
Coed, Ages 15 -18 (over 18? <Click here for adult programs>)
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.
Common ports of call may include Block Island, Bristol, Newport, Martha's Vineyard, Shelter Island and Cuttyhunk. Ten-day voyages commonly call on Nantucket or Provincetown. The nightly anchorages are weather dependant and at the Captain's discretion.
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.
