One of the most ask question is how to get to sail on a Schooner or sailing ship. Every ship is difference so just keep asking. Visted all the tall ships you can. talk with the crews and captain tell them you want to sail and soon you will be a Schoonerman.
Pay To Crew Many ships take crew on for a fee. these trip may be from a few hours on the bay to around the world adventure. A paying crew might be a guest on some ships. Yet on other will be expected to stand watchs and work on deck and aloft. Ask so you know what your will be doing. Also you might ask how much sailing you can expect?
Volunteer Crew Many vessels our own by museum or maritime groups. Some have volunteers maintance and crewed them they may offer sail training which may be required before becoming a crew member. This is a great way of sailing , learning Maritime history, and having a good time, but a person must be a willing worker.
Payed Crew Most charter and school school ship have a paid crew. Very often the ship will be willing to train a green deck hand. Ssome time attitute and a comitment for the season is more importance then sailing experience.
