@ariel_re_’s Katie Partington-Howarth, Chief Capital Officer, and her husband Gavin Howarth will be walking the plank on the Spirit of Bermuda for the ‘Pirates of Bermuda Fundraiser’ on April 28, 2024, and they need you to save them!! Pirates of Bermuda have seized Katie Partington-Howarth and her husband Gavin and they have until April 28, 2024, to raise their ransoms. Donors can ‘sink’ the hostages (make them walk the plank into the chilly waters of Hamilton Harbour) or ‘save’ them. Thankfully they have been taken hostage for a good cause! The fundraiser is in support of the @bermudasloopfoundation Foundation to help maintain the Spirit of Bermuda boat and to provide middle school students 5-day education voyages around Bermuda. Since 2006, 18,000 middle school students have taken part in these educational voyages. These voyages help the @bermudasloopfoundation provide youth in Bermuda with knowledge, confidence, and self-esteem and develop life skills needed for success. If you would like to donate to have Katie Partington-Howarth and her husband Gavin Howarth ‘sink’ or ‘swim’, then you can visit: www.ptix.bm/pirates.

SPIRIT OF BERMUDA has changed Ray Brangman's life, one voyage at a time, over time. When the Adult Education School referred 19-year-old Ray to SPIRIIT, a regulated Sail Training Vessel, he got started on accumulating real 'sea time', a key factor in maritime careers. Ray sailed around Bermuda, along the US east coast and to Turks & Caicos. This 24/7 'sea time' gave Ray the setting for building a career - a career to global standards - becoming "Leading Seaman" for the Department of Marine & Ports Services. Now Ray (36) enjoys a rewarding, hands-on career on the seas around Bermuda and a fulfilling life as husband and dedicated father of three young boys. Lest this goes to his head, please donate to SINK him on Ptix.bm/pirates. You’ll help us continue to offer stepping stones to maritime careers to Bermuda’s young people. #Bermuda #spiritofbermuda #sailtraining #youthdevelopment #sailtrainingvessel #maritimecareers #socialemotionallearning #maritimeskills #Bermudayouth
Yesterday at St. Peter's Church in St. George's, a memorial service was held to honour former slave and ship's pilot, James “Jemmy” Darrell. Jemmy Darrell was remembered for his exceptional maritime skills and his bravery in challenging racist legislation. He encouraged black Bermudian men to become ship's pilots and also advocated for slaves and free Blacks. Jemmy Darrell is an iconic figure in our maritime history and an inspiration to us. Our skiff, the Jemmy Darrell (built by Danny Green and donated to BSF) is named after this legendary gentleman and sailor. #Bermuda #spiritofbermuda #sailtraining #maritimehistory #sailing #shipspilot #maritimeindustry #Bermudahistory 📷 courtesy of artist, Steven Masters (stevenmastersbermuda.com)

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT! Nhoaa Powell sailed on Spirit of Bermuda in 2016 when she was at Sandy's, Middle School. She recently celebrated her 21st birthday and shared these inspiring words with us: "Spirit was a great experience when I was a student at Sandys Secondary Middle School. It allowed me to make new friends and helped me to step out of my comfort zone. I really enjoyed the food and the activities that we participated in. I would encourage others to try it out! I am now currently studying Biology at the illustrious North Carolina A&T State University, in hopes of going to medical school and achieving my dreams of becoming a neonatal surgeon." It's great to see Nhoaa doing so well, and we wish her nothing but success! We love to keep in touch with students who have traveled with us in the past and help them realise their dreams. #Bermuda #SpiritofBermuda #Bermudayouth #youthdevelopment #careers #sailtraining #sailtrainingvessel #socialandemotionallearning

Did you know the sail area on Spirit of Bermuda is over 4000 square feet? That's a lot of sail. No wonder she can sail so fast. The main sail is 900 pounds, and the mizzen sail is 550 pounds.

'A Bermudian Schooner Yacht Offshore' This painting by John Lynn in 1834 inspired the build of Spirit of Bermuda. After looking for a workable design to base Spirit on, finding this painting was a real discovery! An ocean going, Bermuda rigged vessel and the right size for our missions. The Bermuda Rig (triangular sails) were developed in Bermuda by Bermudians. Built of Bermuda cedar (lighter than oak), these vessels could sail close to the wind, were highly manoeuverable, and the fastest way to get from one port to the next in the late 1700s and early 1800s. So fast were these schooners, the Royal Navy applied the rig to their 'Sloop of War' for use against ships engaged in the slave trade. Like these vessels, our Spirit of Bermuda is both agile and fast, as well as quite majestic. The original of this painting is located at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, London. It celebrates Emancipation Day, 1 August 1834, Port Royal, Jamaica. #Bermuda #sailtrainingvessel #SpiritofBermuda #sailing #tallship #Bermudasloop #schooner #maritimehistory #Bermudarig #schooner

Despite the weather yesterday, trainee crew from Whitney Institute Middle School enjoyed productive and educational day onboard Spirit with lots of activities below deck. They learned how the engine room systems operate, studied advanced sail theory, read navigation charts, and undertook a fun STEAM exercise - the tin foil boat challenge, as well as team building exercises. With the tin foil boat challenge, students investigate how the size and shape of a vessel affects how much weight they can carry without sinking. Undertaking experiments like this help young people develop critical thinking skills and allow them to put into practice the theories they have been studying. Our programmes are well-rounded, incorporating personal and social development, as well as developing tangible skills that will help them succeed in life. . . . #SpiritofBermuda #Bermuda #bermudayouth #sailtrainingvessel #sailing #navigation #STEAMEducation #socialandemotionallearning #youthdevelopment #Bermudahistory #Bermudaculture #maritime #navigation #marinelife #bermudaecosystem #Bermudaenvironment #mariners #maritimecareers

We welcomed M3 students from @whitney_institute onboard Spirit for their 5-day/4-night residential voyage yesterday morning. Although it was wet and windy, it didn't dampen their spirits. Trainee crew went through safety drills - what do in case of a fire or if they need to abandon ship, then they practiced their knots, learned about Bermuda's geography, and were taught the 7 habits of successful people. They also got to visit @Nationalmuseumbermuda to learn about Bermuda's rich maritime history and culture. It was a full first day for this group of students. We hope they have an amazing week! . . . #SpiritofBermuda #Bermuda #bermudayouth #sailtrainingvessel #sailing #navigation #STEAMEducation #socialandemotionallearning #youthdevelopment #Bermudahistory #Bermudaculture #maritime #navigation #marinelife #bermudaecosystem #Bermudaenvironment #mariners #maritimecareers

We were thrilled to welcome this year's cohorts from the 2024 Endeavour Maritime Springboard Programme onboard Spirit yesterday afternoon for a glorious sail in Great Sound. As part of their Spirit of Bermuda career day, the cohorts learned about the opportunities available to them and how to get involved. We are proud to partner with like-minded organisations like Endeavour to inspire our young people and expose them to the multitude of possibilities open to them in the maritime industry, teach them about Bermuda's rich maritime history, and provide mentoring and support. ⚓️ Since we began in 2006, it's been our mission to challenge, motivate and educate the youth of Bermuda using the format of experiential training on a purpose-built sail training vessel. We want young people to find their passion, build confidence and resilience, and cultivate the life skills that will set them up for success!
