Program Overview

Always wanted to learn to sail but never have? Sign up today for the Tall Ship 3-day Women’s Challenge, an adventure trip for women that explores ocean sailing in and beyond the San Francisco Bay. Proceeds from the 3-day Women’s Challenge benefit the Tall Ship Semester for Girls program.

The Women’s Challenge is limited to 12 participants and will run aboard the Schooner Seaward. You will be part of a small group that will work together to learn the important skills necessary to sail a large schooner in San Francisco Bay and along the coast. Your success will depend not only on your individual sailing knowledge but on the strength of your group’s ability to work together as a team. You may come aboard complete strangers but you will uncover friendships that will last a lifetime.

    

    "Having done the Week for Women, I have now joined the ranks of those who do instead of remaining in the ranks of those who admire from afar, safe and cozy in our own homes. I now feel anything is possible - it's up to us to reach out and do those things that most of us just think are dreams. We can make it happen. We can make the dreams a reality. And I think once we have that feeling nothing will ever be the same again."
