A three-masted schooner that can also set a triangular raffee topsail on the foremast.
She keeps a full day-sail schedule from her home port in downtown Norfolk and takes students on educational field trips. She is fully Coast Guard inspected for safety.
Her design was inspired by nineteenth-century cargo schooners, but she has the modern amenities that make for a comfortable cruise.
