July 7, 2019
July 7-12: Seafaring and Sail Training for Teens
This sail training voyage -- a collaboration between Lowell’s Boat Shop, Maritime Gloucester, Tall Ships Maine and Ocean Passages -- offers teens the adventure of a lifetime! We’ll spend a week aboard the schooner Harvey Gamage, working side-by-side with a professional crew to learn seamanship, sail handling, and leadership. Graham McKay of Lowell’s Boat Shop will Captain the vessel for our trip; Amanda Madeira of Gloucester Maritime will serve as co-Captain (both are fully USCG licensed and have decades of experience sailing tall ships and leading onboard educational programs). Weather permitting, the itinerary includes a day on Stellwagen bank watching whales and learning about the fisheries, and an overnight passage to the coast of Maine to explore some of the more remote islands before returning to Portland, Maine on Friday.
The hands-on nature of this distinctive program encourages independence and a sense of achievement that increases levels of self-confidence and self-esteem. A week at sea offers the perfect opportunity for kids to unplug and truly engage with the world around them!
**This program is academically accredited by Falmouth (Maine) High School. Participants receive a letter of elective credit which should be valid as a transfer credit on their high school transcript.
Space is limited. Please call 978-834-0050 or email dorothy@lowellsboatshop.com if you have questions.

Spend a week at Lowell's Boat Shop learning traditional boat building skills by building your own model sailboat! We'll work in the shop's classroom to design and shape hulls, round masts and booms, paint, and then rig the boats in time for a mini regatta on the Merrimack River.

Students are asked to wear close-toed shoes and bring a snack and water bottle with them each day. **Please note: There is an afternoon session, Rowing on the Mighty Merrimack, from 1-4pm. If your child attends both, please pack a lunch, and we'll all eat together here at the Boat Shop so you don't have to return between sessions! Saturday is the date of the Mighty Merrimack Regatta for the Pond Yacht class; there is no second session that day.
*A minimum of 4 students is required to run this class. Should there be fewer than four students Lowell's Boat Shop reserves the right to cancel the class at any time for a full refund.

Rowing on the Mighty Merrimack
Rowing on the Mighty Merrimack
July 29, 2019 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
We'll spend the week exploring the Merrimack River using the museum’s fleet of traditional Banks dories and our ten-oared surf dory Provident. Water safety and rowing instructions will be covered on Day One; all rowers will wear USCG-approved life vests. Once competently rowing the boats, we will cast off to explore the river and its surounds. Depending on tide and current, we'll have the option of rowing to Maudslay State Park, Indian River, High Rock, or even the river islands- Deer, Eagle, Ram and Carr Islands. These 'sanctuary islands' have very limited access; we are privileged to be permitted to help monitor native flora and fauna. If conditions are favorable, we may row up the Pow wow River for ice cream!
This weeklong event is for ages 10 and up. Students are asked to bring a snack, sunscreen, a water bottle and bug repellent (if you use it) with them each day. **Please note: There is a morning session, Building Your Own Pond Yacht!, from 9am-noon. If your child attends both, please pack a lunch, and we'll all eat together here at the Boat Shop so you don't have to return between sessions! Saturday is the date of the Mighty Merrimack Regatta for the Pond Yacht class; there is no second session for the rowing group on Saturday.
