Schooner Adventurer, captained by the renowned Duncan Hood, has been a part of the Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race for many years. This year she will be raising money for GCBSR.
For over 30 years, the Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race has been hard at work on its multifaceted mission: to promote awareness of the Chesapeake Bay’s heritage; to encourage preservation of the Bay’s resources; to support Chesapeake Bay education and clean-up efforts; to bring historic schooners to the Bay; and to encourage schooner sailing and preservation. The race brings focus to the maritime traditions of schooners on the Chesapeake and brings attention to the environmental issues facing our ecosystem. All net proceeds of the race are donated to support youth education and other efforts aimed at preserving the Bay's culture and ecology. This is why the Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race is proud to say they are “Racing to Save the Bay!”

Welcome to the 2022 Virtual Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race!
While normal sailboat racing happens on the water, this race is completely online. Each participating schooner has teamed up with a nonprofit partner, and is racing to raise as much money as possible for their charity. YOU can participate in the race by choosing a schooner, making a contribution, and sharing this webpage with your family and friends! 90% of gifts will go directly to the charity of your choice. The other 10% will help the Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race achieve its mission to promote awareness of the Chesapeake Bay’s heritage; to encourage preservation of the Bay’s resources; to support Chesapeake Bay education and clean-up efforts; to bring historic schooners to the Bay; and to encourage schooner sailing and preservation.
Please take a moment to learn more about our schooners and the organizations they support. At the start of the race, please come back here to make a donation and support your team!
Donation links will be available from 12:00 noon on Wednesday, August 24 through 3:00 PM on Saturday, August 27.
Thank you for supporting our schooner community!
Please note: The Chesapeake Bay schooner community could not exist without people like you, and we're eager to keep in touch. If you opt in to email communications when you donate, GCBSR will share your contact information with the schooner you support, as well as the partner nonprofit that will receive your donation. If you do not wish to be contacted, please opt out of communications on the form
