If you have ever wished to make an ocean voyage on a square rigger this is your opportunity.
You will be crew engaged in ocean sailing on a 102 year old tall ship. This is the real thing like you have read about.
We are in Mystic, Connecticut if you want to come by and meet me and the crew.
We are going to complete the New England sailing season, haul for regular maintenance and lay up for the winter in Mystic.
We will be dismantling the rig down to the lowers. This means we will strike (take down) all six yards, all three topmasts and the jib boom and thoroughly overall everything.
This is an excellent opportunity for those of you wishing to participate in a full rigging overhaul.
Next spring we are planning a voyage to Canada, Ireland, Scotland, and Scandinavia.
We will then work our way South through Europe as the seasons change. What we do in the winter of 2023/2024 (Northern Hemisphere winter) is still unwritten.

Alvei is the real deal
I was on the Alvei for a short time while she was on the hard in Brisbane. Beautiful ship and the real deal. She is a 100% tall sailing ship. Unfortunetaly I had to leave early before sailing due to a family situation...I have regretted that decision a lot... like a whole lot. If the COVID situation wasn't what it was I would be back on her tomorrow. Now just to be up front, you had better have an adventurous soul because this is no luxury Disney cruise. You will be working, you will be learning, but you will have an experience that very very few in today's technology driven world would even have a clue about. If you want a real deal life experience do this... but only if your not a whiner, self entitled, and have a strong work ethic. There are other people depending on you, no free ride here. BUT you will have a life story that is enriching and very very unique. Fair winds and good sailing Alvei, I would be there if I could get there.
