A Unique Tall Ship Fall
Experience
If you've ever wanted to
experience sailing down the eastern coastline in the fall on
a Tall Ship, Sisters Under Sail has just such an opportunity
for you, if you have the time. The following comes from the
owner of the Unicorn and founder of Sisters Under
Sail.
We are
looking for some ladies to assist us as volunteers (no
voyage fee) for 2 autumn legs aboard the Unicorn:
Erie, PA to Montreal:
We are looking for 6 wonderful women volunteers to sail with
us from Erie, PA to Montreal for a tall ship festival (Sept
12 -18). We will be traversing the Welland Canal and the
St. Lawrence Seaway.
You can stay aboard the ship while in Montreal to enjoy the
city for most of the weekend, and help us work the
festival. No voyage fee.
Montreal to Bridgeport, CT:
This will be an absolutely beautiful run through the St. Lawrence Seaway in September. Chilly, but lots of color and Beluga whales! You will board us on Saturday, Sept 18
in Montreal to enjoy the city and help us finish up our port event there. We will depart on Monday, Sept 20th and head
home to Bridgeport, CT.
Depending on weather, this trip may take up
to a month to complete with several stops along the way
including Halifax. Again, no voyage fee.
Please visit our website to sign-on.

Lend a Hand ... Be a Leader!

Consider being a member of the board of directors for
the National Women's Sailing Association and The Women's
Sailing Foundation. If you are passionate about sailing
and have a desire to see more women join us in this
sport, lend a hand with being a leader in the
organization.
We are a working board. As a board member, you will

proactive about identifying locations for AdventureSail®
events and attend as the organization representative, if

the marine industry and an all women's event in your
local area.
We are currently seeking women with financial and
budgeting skills for our treasurer's position on the
executive committee. We are also seeking women with
secretarial skills. As an all volunteer organization,
we endeavor to hold commitments on the executive
committee to three years.
