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.
*NEW Brilliant returns to Maine this summer!*
Experience the beauty of Maine's coastline, harbors and towns. Brilliant's return to Maine for a few weeks this summer will allow returning participants to visit new ports while making Brilliant more accessible to participants from Northern New England. Three trips this summer will offer teens the opportunity of sailing in Maine waters. The two ten-day voyages will be transits between Mystic and Portland, Maine. In addition, a five-day voyage will begin and end in Portland, Maine. Please note that the transits to and from Maine are one-way trips and parents are responsible for their participants' transportation to and from the vessel.
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.
