Most windjammers sleep 20 to 30, and seem to attract people of all ages. On our trip, the youngest people were in their thirties and two couples were in their sixties. No alcohol was served, although a cooler was provided for those who brought their own. Food is a main event on all the boats, but additional fare may include folk singing, sea chanteys, storytelling or even stand-up comedy. Passengers are invited to bring along their musical instruments and talents.
Every season includes schooner-race weekends as well as fleet gatherings, and a music festival.
