Adult Programs

Bytown Brigantine’s adult voyages on the STV Fair Jeanne are designed for people who are looking for a hands-on adventure in a demanding yet rewarding environment. Our adult sail training programs aren’t for everybody though. Quarters are tight, days can be long, and unlike a cruise, everyone is expected to help operate the ship: you might find yourself cleaning a toilet.

We’re looking for people who can handle challenge; those who are willing to come together as a crew in order to sail a type of ship that demands teamwork in order to achieve success. The type of people that enjoy Bytown Brigantine sail training programs are the ones that are willing to learn, though experience, all aspects of seamanship and navigation from tying knots, chart work and setting sails to taking the helm of an ocean-going tall ship under full canvas.

 

Volunteers

There are other ways you can ge involved in tall ship sail training as well: you could volunteer with us, or come out to participate in the Winter Program where we have classes on seamanship, navigation and such that we do not need to be aboard ship to learn.  If you are interested, please call the office at 613-596-6258.
