Crew for a Day

https://www.rmporrua.com/suf1l5f

Join the Gundalow crew for a day!  Come aboard and become a real member of the crew.  Learn to raise the sail, navigate, tie knots, stand bow watch, respond to emergency situations just like our own crew.  During the 4 hour programs, campers will get to experience modern sail training at its best.  Campers will be divided up by age for the day.
