An Announcement from the Captain

 

From Captain Sikkema:

 

After long and careful consideration we have come to the difficult decision that 2022 will be VICTORY CHIMES last sailing season. Upcoming Coast Guard compliance, cost and availability of materials for upcoming maintenance, the lack of ability to haul the ship in Maine and the losses of the 2020 season have all become a hill too big to climb.

We are working diligently to find a new home for the vessel. I am optimistic that there will be a way for the ship to exist and continue to tell its story in a meaningful way for generations to come.

Thus far the 2022 season has brought us some truly beautiful sailing, lovely music and wonderful people.

We invite you to come join us in celebrating the ship's life and times in the windjammer fleet as we take one last turn around the bay.

If you have ever wanted to sail with us, NOW is the time!

Come celebrate the history of this grand ol' ship. The last of her kind in the world. Our Social Media this month will be all about celebrating the good times - and you can bet that we'll be doing the same thing aboard.

Sept 4 - 10            Labor Day Adventure featuring Mike and Amy Aiken

Sept 11 - 17          Wooden Boat Sail in, featuring Rising Appalachia

Sept 18- 22           Fall is in the Air September Sail with Skylark

Sept 23 - 26     Classic Three Night Adventure

Sept 27 - Oct 1     Out with a Bang - Music & Fall Colors

Anyone that's gotten to sail aboard the ship is lucky, so we are luckier than most.

 

That's why the flipside to this historic epilogue is that we still get to share and enjoy some of the season's best sailing.

 

September is renowned in our bays to offer up great conditions and mild temperatures.
