BaySail - Appledore Tall Ships

BaySail - Appledore Tall Ships Environmental Education Under Sail, Public Sailing Adventures, and Charters! Bay City welcomed the Appledore IV on Friday, May 15, 1998.

Since that time, her primary purpose has been to provide hands-on, environmental science experiences on the waters of the Saginaw River and Saginaw Bay. BaySail’s hands-on environmental education program, Science under Sail, has reached over 35,000 students in 31 different Michigan counties. This program is available to any student, regardless of age, race, or socio-economic background. Students h

ave been welcomed aboard from public, private, and parochial schools, special needs groups, and home schools. Science under Sail programs are offered in the spring and fall each year. In the summer months Appledore IV is used for youth-group sail training programs and short voyages to other Great Lakes ports, while maintaining a regular schedule of public sails in Bay City. The ship is also available for private charters and special events. In October of 2002, BaySail purchased the 65 foot schooner Appledore V. With this vessel the Science under Sail spring program capacity was expanded to accommodate school groups that were often turned away in the past. In late fall 2012; Appledore V travelled south to Key West, Florida where she will be operating under the direction of Sebago Water Sports for the 2013 season.
