Adventurer and Duncan Hood have been "Racing to Save the Bay" in the Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race (GCBSR) since 1998, and participating in the Virtual Race since its inception.
Adventurer is raising funds for GCBSR educational programs designed to further our goals of encouraging preservation of the Bay's resources and educate kids and adults regarding the importance of schooners and sailing craft in the development of our country.
Welcome to the 2025 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 13 through 3:00 PM on Saturday, August 16.
Thank you for supporting our schooner community!
Please note: GCBSR will only share your contact information with the charity you donated to.
