Brigs Youth Sail Training is such a unique program that has allowed me to meet my closest friends that I wouldn't have met otherwise. The program atmosphere is welcoming and positive, feeling like family, no matter your background. Brigs has taught me so much about sailing and navigation, but also about leadership. teamwork, delegation, and public speaking. These are all crucial to running a tall ship, and Brigs has encouraged me to expand my skill set.
Brigs was my first experience sailing. Over the past years, I have learned so much about sailing. During winter program, doing maintenance on the ships has given me experience with hand tools, power tools, working on rigging, and project management. Every summer, I look forward to our traditions like sunset ceremony and ships concert (talent show).

There are so many memorable experiences I have from visiting ports, swimming, and spending time with my crewmates, that I will cherish forever.
As a part of the crew, I can vouch that all of our crew, including our captain and our mate, are incredibly welcoming and helpful. When I was a trainee, I remember bonding with the crew at the time and always being able to approach them for whatever I needed.
