Our trust pays those training expenses. We encourage crew members to pursue seagoing careers. Many master mariners and officers got their start sailing in Bluenose II . Our trust has been operating Bluenose II since the 1995 sailing season. The navy, which does not have a sail-training vessal on the East Coast, has been pleased to provide enlisted personnel, who receive traditional seamamship training on board Bluenose II .
All crew receive the best of traing from our seasoned officers.
