My View of Life on the Dock
Schooner Green Dragon placed first in the Small Schooner Class in the 2014 Schooner Races, winning the Betty Ramsay Plate. Al Bezanson, who’s the owner of Green Dragon and is on the Schooner Race committee, sits in the cockpit of his schooner. Photo by Kathy Chapman.
Here’s a list I grabbed off the Chamber’s great website which lists each Schooner participating in the 2012 Gloucester Schooner Races. To Connect The Dots For You and bang the point home this is what you need to do-
Click on the highlighted link under or or above each schooner to go to the website and contact the Schooner to reserve your spot aboard. Gloucester harbor is going to be jamming back and forth with all these schooners and to be on the water it will be magical!
YOU WILL NOT REGRET BOOKING YOUR SPOT ON ONE OF THESE BOATS AND BEING PART OF THE ACTION!
I’m convinced 99% of our population outside of the schoonerheads don’t even realize that they can get aboard and race. The costs to go out for a sail is not even a rounding error on the cost of owning a boat for a year.
What, you’re still reading this? You should be on telephone with Kay Ellis or the people at The Ardelle office booking your reservation for this weekend. Hurry up will ya?
