Schooner Woodwind was built to make sailing dreams come true back in 1993 by the Kaye family. For the past 27 years, guests from all over the world have sailed on her for public cruises, private events, multi-day cruises and educational cruises. Just 5 years later her sister, Woodwind II, set sail. Woodwind II is the "movie star" of the family - she played an important role in the movie Wedding Crashers. But it's the classic Woodwind that sails every year in the Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race - and she's known to be a fast competitor! 

This year, Woodwind is working in partnership with GCBSR's education program to host educational programs aboard the vessel. Donations to Woodwind's campaign will be used to provide sailing experiences free of charge to local youth. Offering programs in STEM and navigation, Woodwind helps kids experience the magical Chesapeake Bay under full sail.
