Event description

Step aboard the 106-year-old, fully restored schooner for a hands-on sail on Port Townsend Bay. Experience the joy of sailing this beautiful B.B Crowninshield-designed, Rice Brothers-built schooner operated by Sound Experience.

Adventuress will join the Salish Sea’s fleet of classic schooners to compete in the annual Schooner Race in Port Townsend Bay. This race is a highlight of the festival and showcases the performance of traditional sailing vessels and the collective skill of their crewmembers. Schooners, characterized by their distinctive rigging with two or more masts, have long demonstrated impressive speed and maneuverability, whether as part of historic coastal fishing fleets or raced recreationally. Space is limited.

Sound Experience Member discounts are available for this sail.

Adventuress is owned and operated by the nonprofit Sound Experience, a WA State 501(c)(3) education organization. Adventuress is a beloved National Historic Landmark (NHL) sailing ship – one of just two NHLs still in active USCG operation on the West Coast. Since 1989, more than 50,000 children and teens have climbed aboard for day and overnight voyages on the Salish Sea. Together, they raise the massive gaff-rigged mainsail, take the helm and learn to sail a tall ship. They learn about the importance of our waterways and oceans, explore maritime careers and – perhaps most important – learn what it takes to be a shipmate.
