Experience Blue Water Sailing in an 18th Century Replica Barque
On 15 February 2024, Museum ship HMB Endeavour replica will embark on a 15-day voyage to Lord Howe Island, offering an unforgettable experience of blue water sailing in an 18th Century replica barque.
Our Museum Foundation (the ANMM Foundation) has raised funds to support up to several young Australians to participate in this incredible tall ship adventure.
Successful applicants must be:
- An Australian citizen
- Aged between 18 and 24 on 1 February 2024
- Be available from 15 - 29 February 2024
- Be able to get themselves to and from Sydney at their own expense
There is no formal application form however ANMM needs to receive a written response via email to sail.endeavour@sea.museum covering the following three points as soon as possible given the sailing date is looming.
- What sailing experience do you have?
- What will you contribute to the voyage, and what do you hope to gain from the experience?
- Do you have any other skills that you believe would be relevant to the voyage?
Successful applicants would then be required to provide a medical certificate and deed poll as per paying participants, prior to final approval.
As you can appreciate this will be a unique opportunity for the successful applicants, to not only learn to sail a complex eighteenth-century vessel but also to gain life-long skills including teamwork and communication, practical decision-making, flexibility and resilience. It would be a fabulous opportunity for young members of the sailing community to develop their skills.
Because time is short we are asking interested sailors to contact members of our museum team, especially Peter Drogitis at sail.endeavour@sea.museum or contact David O’Sullivan on David.OSullivan@sea.museum or by phone on 02 8241 8379.
