Shearwater Classic Schooner at Shearwater (Manhattan By Sail)
Event Venue · Whole venue
About this space
The wonderfully restored 1929 sailing ship will transport you to the Roaring '20s.
The Shearwater is a bluewater ocean cruiser that has traveled around the world. It was the peak of luxury boats at the time. She has won classic yacht races in New York and New Zealand and has sailed the Pacific through the Panama Canal.
She has depth and character, like New Yorkers. She is one of the largest sailboats built in her day, measuring 82 feet in length (bigger than the Mayflower) and 16.5 feet in width, but her elegant appearance gives up to 37 people an intimate experience. Ad-hoc seating is available; choose a bench, a deck box, or the owner's preferred location.
