Built in 1907 for San Francisco Yacht Club Commodore J. R. Hanify, and named after his wife, Martha Fitzmaurice Hanify, Martha is a B.B. Crowninshield design built at W. F. Stone Boat Yard in San Fransisco. Originally gaff rigged and now staysail rigged, she is 68’ on deck; 84’ sparred, 16’ beam, 8’ draft. Her planking is fir and silver bali on oak frames, and her interior is Honduran mahogany, graced with leaded glass cabinetry below decks. Venture around the San Juan Islands on a 5-day sail that leaves from Point Hudson Marina. Learn about the responsibilities and skills of being crew on board a classic vessel—sail handling, steering, safety, piloting, reading charts, and more. Sail training and sailing vacations are extremely fun and rewarding experiences. Whether you have extensive sailing experience or have no experience at all, we will work to make sure you have an amazing time on the water. Live aboard as a crew member. Learn about trip planning, weather and local anchorages for exploring. Practice setting and striking sail, steer the vessel, and stand watch. No prior experience necessary, only a desire to live with less technology and more fresh air.
