SUMMARY:2026/2027 Sail Training Orientation
DESCRIPTION:Sail training on ELISSA gives the participants the once-in-a-lifetime chance to sail onboard a historic sailing ship from 1877 and literally\, sail history! ELISSA’s sail training is an adventure activity for people of all ages and abilities. Young and older folks alike can find camaraderie and a rewarding experience either in ELISSA’s rigging or on her decks. \nELISSA is sailed and lovingly maintained by a dedicated volunteer group that works and trains year-round. Now is your chance if you have longed to hoist a sail on a historic tall ship. Please join us for an introductory meeting for potential crew members and start your journey! \nThose who participate in the ELISSA Sail Training program have the opportunity to learn ancient skills and techniques for maintaining a square-rigged sailing ship. Volunteers may learn to climb ELISSA’s rigging to set and furl sails and maintain the intricate wood\, wire\, and rope machinery. After completing the classes\, which take place on designated Saturdays\, and contributing the required hours of work on the ship’s upkeep\, participants are eligible to take ELISSA to sea. \nFull details available at https://www.galvestonhistory.org/news/sail-training-on-board-the-1877-tall-ship-elissa.
