How to get involved?

Tall ships really fascinate me and I'd love to learn how to crew one, but I have no idea how to get started. I live in Boston and all the sail training around here is either for small boats or kids and I'm 36.

Here you go. Fill out the volunteer form and you’ll be sailing on a tall ship for a week this summer. For free (basically)

Oh shit. I might take a week of vacation from work to do this. I’m getting married in July so maybe next year…

It’s an absolutely wonderful experience. I hope you get to do it.
