Description
Hello Sailors, welcome to the Brigantine ST. LAWRENCE II, located at Portsmouth Harbour in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
The Brigantine Incorporated is a not for profit organization. It is a sail training program created with the intent of teaching young people from the ages of 12 to 18 the fundamental skills of sailing. This program has been running since 1954. We offer some of North America's finest sail training. The training is available in cruises which range from 6 to 10 days in length. Best of all, no sailing experience is required to apply!
In addition to teaching youth fundamental sailing skills, the Brigantine Incorporated program also provides adventure, challenge and team work experience. Living aboard a traditionally rigged tall ship provides an excellent environment for the development of discipline, self-esteem, self-reliance and responsibility in young people. This environment is augmented by a twenty four hour watch system, in which trainees are always sailing the ship, or monitoring her at anchor with the help of experienced crew members.
Duties for trainees range from meal preparation to meal cleanup, from manipulating the massive sails, to steering the ship. The crew provides on-the-job instruction and training for all those who attend the cruises.

Our week had 18 kids and 10 staff. There were not eough beds and some had to sleep 2 to a nunkbed, or on deck the deck in sleeping bags.
Co-ed, 1 toilet, too many people.
