Lots of fun for a great cause!
For the GCBSR to support its educational programs and Chesapeake Bay partners to the fullest, we rely on a strong community of volunteers before, during, and after the Schooner Race.
If you love traditional boats, and schooners in particular, you’ll love being a part of this! There is much to do before, during, and after the race—both virtually and on-site.
We welcome your skills and enthusiasm!
