Event description
The Ship
Matthew Turner is a 132’ wooden brigantine, built in Sausalito, CA, launched in 2017 and sailing the Bay since 2020. She is an unique educational platform, serving students of all ages in Seamanship, Marie Science, Nautical History and Team Building instruction. Contact us to arrange an educational sail for a group.
Location
Matthew Turner is docked at the Bay Model Visitor Center pier in Sausalito, CA. Access to the parking lot and pier is via Marinship Way.
Parking
Free parking is available in the Bay Model Visitor Center West side/back lot, adjacent to Marinship Way. There will be an escort to walk you down the pier past the gate. Parking is limited in the Bay Model parking lot due to Sea Trek Kayaking and the Bay Model being busy in the mornings and early afternoons. Spillover parking is available on Bridgeway (non metered all day spots) and along Liberty Ship Way in front of #10 Liberty Ship Way in the yellow zones.
Check in begins 15 minutes before event starts
Please wait at the gate to the pier in front of the Bay Model. There will be an escort to walk you past the gate, down the pier to the ship.
