We will host a welcome coffee mixer from 9-9:45am prior to boarding with guest elected speakers to discuss key issues affecting Bay waters. This is also a day to celebrate social bonds and great conversations with our sustainability tribe, to connect with old friends and make new ones. Included in this year’s sail will be a catered gourmet lunch by Davy Jones Deli in Sausalito, an award-winning sandwich house (Small Business of the Year, Best Vegetarian in Marin). Depending on the wind and tides, we'll go out under the Golden Gate Bridge. We will get a VIP tour of the boat and her systems. Those willing will be able to participate in setting and striking sails. Berthed at the Bay Model in Sausalito, it is used for on-the-water environmental youth education. Also, it was built locally by the nonprofit Call of the Sea (COTS) craftsmen and hundreds of volunteers over six years with sustainably forested lumber (FSC). It has two 200KW electric motors regenerating power while under sail from the propeller 200 KWH banks of lithium batteries for power storage, and two 265 KW bio-fuel generators.

The ship carries 11 sails (7,200 square feet) which are used to generate wind-powered electricity. Time to get out of the house and enjoy our magnificent Bay? You betcha!

This will be the first sail of the post pandemic economy opening for the sustainability community on board the new Matthew Turner, a 100 ft. brigantine sailing ship, which has the most regenerative propulsion system of any in the US tall ship fleet, possibly in the world. You are invited to a very special sailing event sponsored by VenturePad on Saturday, August 14.
