CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, UNITED STATES, June 7, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Amphitrite Digital, in partnership with Navy Pier, has launched the new fun and educational Discovery Sails program to provide hands-on, onboard experiences on the famous Tall Ship Windy. The free program will be open to local youth-oriented (7-17 years old) nonprofit organizations every other Monday, beginning June 14th.

“Navy Pier is truly the People’s Pier. By providing an opportunity for Chicago’s youth organizations to learn about Chicago’s maritime heritage, as they engage and assist with the basics of sailing, is an exciting element of bringing our community together,” said Navy Pier Vice President of Marketing and Communications Amanda Willard. “We thank Chicago's Official Tall Ship Ambassador Windy for making this a reality."

“Hands-on training through Discovery Sails gives young people a rare chance to apply real-world physics, ecology, history and storytelling while taking an active part in sailing the ship,” said Amphitrite Digital President Hope Stawski. “History comes alive on the ship with an exciting educational adventure for curious minds of all ages. Best of all it’s fun.”

Tax-exempt organizations on a mission to support, educate and empower young people are encouraged to apply to participate at Tall Ship Windy Educational Sail

Tall Ship Windy is a 148-foot, traditional, four-masted topsail schooner. It is one of only three four-masted schooners still operating in the United States. Windy was designated as the official Tall Ship Ambassador for the City of Chicago in 2006.
