Sisters Under Sail is a leadership program exclusively for teenage girls. We use a traditionally rigged topsail schooner, Tallship Unicorn, as our ultimate learning lab. The program mission is to build confidence and self-esteem, increase social conscience and teach how empowering it is to work with your sisters towards a common goal.Sisters Under Sail has put over 400 teenage girls at the helm in the past six sold out summers. Your young sailor will work closely with the ship's experienced all-female professional crew to: stand watch, steer the ship, set sails, climb the rigging, navigate a course, swab the decks and learn the skills it takes to operate and maintain a 110-foot, 100-ton steel vessel. Lively daily group discussions and journaling sessions connect the dots between her shipboard experience and life as a teenager."Sailtraining has long been recognized as a character-building experience for young people." says Dawn Santamaria, Founder & Executive Director of Sisters Under Sail and Co-Owner of Tallship Unicorn. "As a mother of four daughters, I know from our family's personal sailing experience aboard our own tall ship that sail training, specifically for young girls, builds confidence, teaches responsibility and respect for themselves, for their fellow crew members and their ship."Can you see your daughter at the helm of a 110-foot tall ship?
