Tall Ships |
Sail the Twin Brigantines of the Los Angeles Maritime
Institute. These wonderful
vessels turn young people into sailors for a few hours or a few days. Why?
The sights and sounds of the ocean have the power to rekindle their native
curiosity. The ship-board routines
build teamwork, trust and responsibility.
Standing watch aboard a tall ship has long been recognized as an extraordinary
character building experience. LAMI is currently seeking adult volunteers to
sail with this unique program. |

The Brigantines “build character” at every level; from the command responsibilities of the Captain, right on down to 3 crew members struggling with a stubborn sail. For those with a technical bent, there are many ship services to study, including electrical, plumbing, navigation, radio, engines, rigging, and weather. There has been some interest in a “technical guidebook” to the Brigantines; let me know if you’d like to collaborate on this project. Sample Circuit, Tech_Guide (internal page), |
