The WINDY is a 148 foot traditional four masted gaff topsail schooner/Tall Ship.
Built of modern materials, but like the old trading schooners and sail training ships,
the WINDY has all the character and charm of the great Age of Sail.
We are proud to bring you new and exciting Educational Programs, creative and inspiring Tall Ship adventures each day and evening.
