Living Classroom Foundation's Pungy schooner LADY MARYLAND, Skipjack SIGSBEE, and Buyboat MILDRED BELLE provide virtual educational programs and sailing opportunities.

Day 2 Morning Update: Schooner LADY MARYLAND and her professional and student crew are currently motor sailing and passing the mouth of the Potomac River. They have been underway for over 24 hours, and everyone is doing great.

Due to the light-wind conditions during this race, the distance left to get to Norfolk, and the forecast heavy wind late Friday, the Race Committee has decided to shorten the course and Captain LP has decided it is more important to reach Norfolk on time and before the coming windy weather. We may not officially be in the race anymore, but the students are still steering the vessel, navigating, trimming the sails, and standing watch. This is still the adventure of a lifetime and everyone is in high spirits.

A huge thanks to all our generous donors who made this experience possible for these ten students!

The 37th annual Schooner Race starts today! Our 10 students from Baltimore City College HS arrived at LADY MARYLAND at 6:30am this morning to board the vessel and begin their adventure. A huge thanks to all our generous donors who made this experience possible for these ten students. LADY MARYLAND has been taking students on the race down the Bay for 30+ years and these students continue that legacy today.

Currently Schooner WOODWIND is in the lead with LADY MARYLAND in 6th place overall, currently making 4 knots heading down the Bay.

What a gorgeous day for a sailboat ride!

Big thanks to the Living Classrooms Foundation: Maritime Education (LCF) for another fun and impactful field trip. This year, the visit started at the Frederick Douglass-Isaac Myers Maritime Park and Museum in Baltimore and ended with a ride on the Chesapeake Bay aboard the Sigsbee, LCF's historic Skipjack. Charting Careers staff and scholars took in the sites while enjoying hands-on environmental STEM activities like water quality testing, navigation, and steering all designed to spark interest in bay ecology and local maritime trades and history.

We are grateful to partners like The Living Classrooms Foundation for making trips like this possible for our scholars!

A huge thanks to everyone who donated, spread the word, shared and posted during the 2026 Virtual Schooner Race!

We just raised $4,253.22 which we will use to support 10 Baltimore City College HS students on the Bay Race this October.

I love seeing this unique community come together every August during this fundraiser. LADY MARYLAND means so much to me and I am so thankful when I see folks donate, comment, like and share and generally get excited for what we are doing.

Living Classrooms has been doing this a long time and I am honored to help carry on that legacy.

Thanks for donating.
Thanks for helping us spread the word.
Thanks for supporting our students.
And as always,
