Lady Washington Tall Ship Battle Sail Tour

Non-track Event, Washington

About this event

Lady Washington Tall Ship Battle Sail Tour

Audi Club Northwest is pleased announce the return of the Lady Washington Tall Ship Battle Sail Tour, Saturday, July 30, 2016.
The Lady Washington Tall Ship Battle Sail Tour offers attendees the opportunity to enjoy a 3-hour cruise on the replica brig Lady Washington. The ship embodies maritime history of the 1700’s and early 1800’s. She is a traditionally-built replica launched in 1989 as the Official Ship of the State of Washington, and has appeared in several movies, including the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series.  Lady Washington is 112 feet long, with a 22 foot beam, displaces 210 tons, and has a mast height of 89 feet. She has a sail area of 4400 square feet, and approximately 6 miles of rigging.

The three-hour Battle Sail features booming cannons, close-quarters maneuvers, and a taste of 18th century maritime life aboard tall ships. Passengers are invited to raise the sails, verbally taunt their opponents, and sing the chorus of a sea shanty. Blimey, go to this link to see the excitement awaiting for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-RKWrQQMqU&feature=youtu.be.

This tour is scheduled for July 30, 2016. Audi Club Northwest has reserved an exclusive charter aboard the Lady Washington. The sail will depart from Squalicum Harbor Marina (2600 N Harbor Loop Dr., Bellingham, WA) with a cruise from 2-5 pm. Before hand we will meet at Audi Bellingham (2200 Iowa St, Bellingham, WA 98227) at noon where refreshments will be available and then depart for Squalicum Harbor Marina at 1 pm.  Upon return from the sail, a no host dinner will be at Nicki's Bella Marina Squalicum Harbor Marina at 6 pm.

This tour is a unique opportunity to enjoy the history of a time gone by, when sailing ships traveled the seas. This is sure to be a popular family event and perhaps a once in a lifetime opportunity. This is another in a series of tours scheduled over the years to bring to Audi Club NW members some of the many spectacular reasons we choose to live in the Pacific Northwest.

The cost for this tour is $45 per person (adult, teens, children). The brig has room for only 45 paying passengers, so be sure to reserve your place on this tour early.  Children under 18 may attend.  The 45 person number is a Coast Guard passenger limit.

The tour leader for this event is Doug Cerretti, and he may be contacted for more information at <cerr5000@yahoo.com>.
