Hey all, as you may know, the Lady Washington is near and dear to my heart. She turns 35 this year, which is pretty old for a modern wooden brig like herself. She's sailed well every year, but before she can continue doing so, she needs some major work done.
There is a refit project that will begin this October and which will extend many years in multiple phases. Critical things like above the waterline hull planking, both masts, and a number of engineering/electrical systems need replacing before she can sail again in 2025, and it's not yet fully funded.
I know there's so, so much going on in the world right now, and many people that need money more than we do. But on the off chance you have a few extra dollars, we'd really appreciate the donation. This ship is my home, and there are many folks that feel the same; we'd hate to have to delay the 2025 sailing season more than it already would be, or even cancel it. Even if you don't have the money yourself, please share this around with anyone you know who might be interested!
Thank you so much! Fair winds and following seas, friends!
