 LIFE ONBOARD
Onboard SULTANA you
will be immersed in a forgotten way of life where sailors live in close
harmony with the environment and daily routines are largely determined
by the wind and weather. A total of 16 people will be onboard SULTANA
during any given trip, including nine student participants and up to
seven professional instructors. During your trip you will work alongside
your fellow crew to learn how to handle, navigate and sail SULTANA. You
will also work with SULTANA’s experienced instructors, undertaking a
variety of activities to learn about the ecosystem of the Chesapeake and
the organisms that live there. There are also plenty of opportunities to
go ashore, swim, play games, fish, and have fun!
Healthy meals are
prepared three times a day by the vessel’s cook and eaten family-style
in a communal setting. At night, students sleep under the stars or down
below in the vessel’s main hold. In the middle of every trip, Sultana
visits a port such as Oxford or Annapolis, where participants have an
opportunity to explore historic sites and take advantage of modern
conveniences such as flushing toilets and showers. Young sailors in
Sultana’s summer programs should be prepared for life in a shipboard
environment where the accommodations are basic, space is limited,
electronic devices are forbidden, and teamwork is essential! |
