Volunteers welcome on Saturdays in winter and spring to get Schooner Sara Jane ready for her summer season. On sunny days, the temps inside Sara Jane's Bow Shed have been in the 70's while 20's and 30's outside. Shipwright David Stimson continues refastening the hull and making repairs well before they are urgent and teaching volunteers the arts of the shipwright. Boatbuilder Steve Smith has been working on a Bristol Corinthian inside the shop replacing her seats and getting her ready for sale this spring.

Sara Jane inside her new Bow-Roof Shed in Bowdoinham, Maine. The shed was built by volunteers under the watchful eye of Shipwright David Stimson, author of the book "Bow-Rood Shed Plans." David is also responsible for ensuring Sara Jane's next 50 years of smooth, safe sailing and no compromise maintenance. Registration for summer programs for high school students will open Jan. 2 on our website at www.sailingshipsmaine.org.

An update on Sara Jane. She is inside her own custom Bow-Roof Shed in Bowdoinham, Maine this winter (2023-2024) after a successful second season of sail training under Captain Anna Maria Hansen. Sixty high school students spent a week each aboard engaging in sail training and living on board. Meanwhile, she is being lovingly maintained by master shipwright David Stimson, rigger José M. Hernández-Juviel and Sailing Ships Maine volunteers. She sails out of Freeport, Maine. For those interested in helping high school students expand their horizons, please visit www.sailingshipsmaine.org and consider contributing to our scholarship fund.

We seek volunteers to help get Sara Jane ready for a busy summer of sail training. First volunteer day is Monday April 24. If you are interested in this day or future volunteer days, please drop us an email at [email protected]. Schooner Sara Jane is a public treasure and we would like your help in keeping her that way.

Schooner Sara Jane is now a publicly-owned educational asset managed by volunteers based in Maine. After a month in yard this spring powered by volunteer labor, she sailed with 6 high school students per week for 5 weeks extending sail training opportunities in new directions and to new kids. As we write this, are planning youth and adult sail training classes for 2023 on board and underway. If you are interested in organizing a youth, adult or mixed youth/adult sail training group for this summer, please reach out to [email protected] to pick a week. We work with youth orgs, families, yacht clubs, and most importantly schools. We expect to sail the Maine coast from June 1 through Oct. 31 on a series of 5 day training adventures. We will provide a licensed professional captain, a deckhand, groceries, 6 passenger bunks and our accredited nautical science curriculum.
