With the dedication and passion that the Captain, CEO and permanent crew give to these kids; what they take away from this is life changing and something they will never forget. Great thanks also to the sponsors who have and continue to make this happen. Yes from previous experience 2 weeks seems to be about the ideal length of time for young students and 1 week for adults.
What a fantastic program for youth. The experience has to create lifetime memories & friendships along with social & technical skills. There needs to be many more of this type of program for our young people. Kudos to these gentlemen who are dedicated to make this an ongoing success. I'm sure they have no problem getting kids to sign up for this. Thanks for sharing!
Great interview and tour. James, you have a hidden talent as an interviewer. Good questions; you let the captain do most of the talking and gave us a taste of sailing on the Spirit of Bermuda!
Thanks James for what you do, I got into the Annapolis Boat Show using your discount code, but unfortunately was not able to meet up with you - spent too much time looking at all the catamarans.
One of your coolest videos James, well done for getting that done. You can see the CEO & Captain have a passion for that project, great to see & hear how they run that vessel, pure class Fair winds to all concerned ⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵
Magnificent sailing vessel, fantastic programs for young people and a beautiful way to reserve nautical history. Thank you so much James for sharing this classic with all of us.
great tour James! really good episode! and you cant beat the smell of a timber boat and most people talk to their timber boats like there a living thing, myself included!
So great to watch this video I just brought a small support vessel off a similar organisation here in New Zealand "Outward Bound NZ" Really love what these organisations do for the youngsters of today. Keep spreading the word Bro 😁 So cool James
Man what A Great Episode. What a beautiful ship! Absolutely Amazing. You’re looking good to. So happy everything going your way. Keep up the good work. Thank You 🙏
Super Outstanding Video As Always! "I often ponder if I was born too late, or perhaps I lived as a pirate in another life, sailing the uncharted waters and chasing horizons with relentless passion. Like the timeless lyrics of Jimmy Buffett's 'A Pirate Looks at Forty,' my soul has always yearned for the boundless adventure of the open seas, and the exhilarating freedom to chart my own daring course." It's time! ⛵
Thanks James, this type of content is fantastic, you've introduced me to many of the chanels I now follow. Your passion and love of all things sailing is infectious and we live vicariously through your adventures, good on you brother
What a great coverage of boat stuff, i noticed the two thick watertight bulkheads, engine room Wow! Age 13 is the best age to encounter this. Wondering how many follow on to a life of sailing. Kudos James.
Great content and your interviewing skills are top notch as you are also a very good listener. The best video I have seen of the Spirit of Bermuda and I'm Bermudian. Thanks for showcasing this fantastic ship. Andrew
I have been following you for sometime, and did not know you where on submarines. I was on USS Sculpin SSN 590, USS San Francisco SSN 711, and my final boat was USS Michigan SSBN 727. I now have an even greater respect for you and your journey, fair you well from one bubble head to another.
When I was 15 did 9 weeks on the Tabor Boy, and 88 ft. steel former Dutch pilot schooner built about 1914 best experience of my adolescence staying up in the crow's nest, working the square rigged sails, standing night watch, and only sick when I had to had wash plates for 15 returning to MASS. from Bermuda. Thanks.

James, I have some sad news concerning Easter Island. An arsonist set a fire that charred and cracked the Moai figures. The authorities say the damage cannot be undone. I'll include some of the report below. Would you be able to link your Easter Island episode in your next episode? I would love to see it again. I've told you before your video of the Moai statutes and the island was awesome. Here is some of the report: "A fire set on Easter Island has badly damaged the sacred “moai” statues-some irreparably, according to the director of the park. The blaze was set deliberately on Monday around the Rano Raraku volcano, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it spread over an area of 148 acres. Mayor Pedro Edmunds Paoa has called the event an act or arson. “All the fires Rapa Nui are caused by human beings,” he told the local broadcaster Radio Pauta. “The damage caused by the fire can’t be undone,” he continued. “The cracking of an original and emblematic stone cannot be recovered, no matter how many millions or euros or dollars are put into it.” It is unclear how many statues were damaged. A lack of volunteers slowed down the response to the fire, according to Ariki Tepano, director of the Ma’u Henua community, which who oversees the parks management." :¬( Webhead USA
It hurts my heart to hear that. These statues have survived much more than arson... A tsunami in the 60's knocked them over and carried a few inland quite a ways. Plus, due to the tribal warring, they were knocked over and most of the heads broken off. I think the resilience of the Moai and people of Easter Island will carry on forever. I'll actually be going back there next year (haven't announced that yet, but I'm working on the video). Thank you for letting me know. I'll link the easter episode with the announcement video in 2 weeks :) Thanks for the update.
"Scalawags" Let's be proper, James. I used to spell it with an "e", but looking up the history of nautical and pirate terms and shanty lingo, I discovered it was "Scalawags". Best sailing U-Swab. I made that up...Underwater-Sailor, but now, keep the boat in the water and the water out of the boat.
Did you say "Macaroni sloop"???? That is funny !When 5 years old I would have said : "macaroni in his head , macaroni in his head, macaroni ...." but I have a long white beard so I 'll say Marconi sloop, M A R C O N I sloop.
This is only the second year for the TH-cam booth at the Annapolis boat show, but with the success of the first show last year I imagine more and more channels will want to attend. This year there will be something like 50 channels! Amazing. When I started my channel there was only a dozen, or so, of us. Now there's hundreds of cruising channels. I love it. So, to answer your question, yes. ;)
Great one James and Crew! That Foundation should be running our world, we'd all be better off... Cheers!!
No one needs to run the world. Be free
With the dedication and passion that the Captain, CEO and permanent crew give to these kids; what they take away from this is life changing and something they will never forget. Great thanks also to the sponsors who have and continue to make this happen.

Herman, you nailed my sentiments. Great episode.
That was all Robin and Alex. It was nice to meet these guys. Very knowledgable, easy to talk to.
@@thelastpirate I'm not buying that. Nice try on a deflection, but good work mate. You are better than you let on. A good seaman too.
Awesome Video James ! Awesome Cause for the Kids! 5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️’s through and through!
Thanks James for what you do, I got into the Annapolis Boat Show using your discount code, but unfortunately was not able to meet up with you - spent too much time looking at all the catamarans.
Love the concept of what they are doing with the kids. I do agree that it would be good for them to have at least 2 weeks time.
One of your coolest videos James, well done for getting that done.
You can see the CEO & Captain have a passion for that project, great to see & hear how they run that vessel, pure class
Fair winds to all concerned ⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵
Thanks, Pete! I really enjoyed that boat as well.
Magnificent sailing vessel, fantastic programs for young people and a beautiful way to reserve nautical history. Thank you so much James for sharing this classic with all of us.
I really appreciate the direction you've taken your channel.
Agreed! It's refreshingly too! 😉

Nice to see the sprite again we race against her in the Newport to Bermuda Race. See you at the boat show Annapolis M.D
What a beautiful vessel. Thanks for sharing James.

Totally awesome boat & very cool that it’s a school , great tour , thank you for sharing
GOOD Stuff James GREAT Vibes
Amazing video James! Very informative and just plain cool🤙🏻
Fantastic video! And really great questions about the running of the ship and challenges. What a great foundation.
I have been following you for sometime, and did not know you where on submarines. I was on USS Sculpin SSN 590, USS San Francisco SSN 711, and my final boat was USS Michigan SSBN 727. I now have an even greater respect for you and your journey, fair you well from one bubble head to another.
I odnt think there is any proof he was ever a submariner
Excellent episode, good work taking your time and covering so much, instead of glossing over details. 👍👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing. Wonderful video. Very educational.
James...what a COOL project!!!
Thanks for showing this!!!
Be well!
Love these people doing this
A truly magnificent ship and and super fast.
Thank you sir! I always love to see programs for young people and, what a beautiful vessel!
Beautiful boat!! Happy to see a fellow Mainer❤
Best video man!!!! You live your pirate ships. We need to get you one!!!
When I was 15 did 9 weeks on the Tabor Boy, and 88 ft. steel former Dutch pilot schooner built about 1914 best experience of my adolescence staying up in the crow's nest, working the square rigged sails, standing night watch, and only sick when I had to had wash plates for 15 returning to MASS. from Bermuda. Thanks.
That was great James.
Sleek looking boat, and in great condition too.
What an awesome vessel, and very awesome people. Great video james. I love your channel!
Thank you kindly, P :)
That bow sprite is amazing
Good on you James for giving them the episode. Bermuda rigged multiple masts are fine under control in hard weather. Live sail training ❤
That is so interesting and it is important to remember the past how things were done Navigation directional changes what a great thing.
Awesome video James well done!! What an amazing cause I’m glad you showcased this boat and cause in your video!
Excellent video. I love 19th-century sailing vessels!
Awesome tour! Thanks for that! 👍
Awesome video, well done James and Crew.
It a great episode, hopefully, I'll see you in Annapolis
Thanks, Don! Come say hi at the TH-cam booth. You can find the time I'll be there at the booth. ;>)
I'll see you there
Very interesting. Thanks.
Awesome episode James!👍🏼👏🏼
This is soooo COOL !!!!
Once again
Great content , really enjoyable
Thanks James
Stuart in Ireland ☘️
magnifique bateau.
Mais je ne vais pas en faire la maquette.
Je vais etre sage et finir déjà ceux que j'ai commencé.
Merci pour cette superbe visite.
Love this boat!!!❤❤❤
Very cool history
Love the sub crew's berthing analogy.
Probably some hot racking going on while at sea.
They should try hammocks to increase the bunking space.
Good job man, you did us proud.
Come SAILING with Zingaro!!!! Go to sailingzingaro.com/ to see availability. Hope to see you out here! -James
James, ...keep THE GIRL. 😉🙂
Another thing, if I could have a say in choosing a brother, it'd be you James. You'd make a very cool brother.
That is appreciated ❤🎉
Cool stuff.
Awesome info!
Hit the thumbs-up, share far and wide!
Great video, awesome boat,, teaching kids to sail 👍⛵👍🐬🐟🐳🐢🐠🦈
great stuff
Wow! Fantastic vessel indeed and the mission as well. Maybe when you get a bit long in the tooth James we'll see you captain a similar project.
See you in Annapolis! Friday. Lovevto buy you a beer.
You need to come to Nova Scotia and do a story on the fastest sailboat in the world!!!!!
The Bluenose. Docked in Lunenburg NS
I enjoy the content of your videos brother James Letz⛵️G👀
👋☻️cool nail paint job 💅🤩
Awesome
SUPERB blog
Over a million per year in maintenance!!! I'm sure the kids realize how lucky they are.
Yeah, that's quite the bill... I want one... but holy hell that's quite the maintenance bill.
Short trip means more kids have a chance to sail, but two weeks would be more of a life changing experience.
Wow So Cool
Gorgeous 🤩
That was cool
I brought a boat back from Bermuda.after the race.48 foot catch many years ago.

You don¡t mention the obviously watertight bulkheads and closing mechanisms.

built in maine . cold molded
I think Nova Scotians would have something to say about the schooner thing .
Curious
do a lot of "TH-cam cruisers" halt their lives, wherever they are in the world, to attend the Annapolis Boat Show?
This is only the second year for the TH-cam booth at the Annapolis boat show, but with the success of the first show last year I imagine more and more channels will want to attend. This year there will be something like 50 channels! Amazing. When I started my channel there was only a dozen, or so, of us. Now there's hundreds of cruising channels. I love it. So, to answer your question, yes. ;)
How about medical emergency on the Spirit of Bermuda?
Normally I don't watch Zingaro (long story..) but this episode was great.
Blessings...m
It would be great for these kids to spend time in dinghies. That would add to their sense of responsibility, self discipline, self learning.
So, who was the ‘Hottie’ in the background?
how many if any trans atlantic crossings do these guys do with a young(ish) crew? nice vid, thanks.
RIP NAOMI TERLINI, ie peters crew
Macaroni sloop??
19'th century
Nice work if you can get it ! Lol
19th century, not 18th century
👍
So chool boat...!!...
