Hello and welcome to The Friendship Volunteer Crew's page. Our 50 or so volunteers meet 3 times each month and put in approximately 150 hours every month. Our group is composed of a diverse bunch of people, mariners, crafters, boat enthusiasts, and many who simply hope to contribute something to the Friendship project. We have become involved by making all sorts of gear to be used aboard Friendship and helping to take care of her during the building period. Look around to see a list of our projects and pictures of them being accomplished.
Training is also a priority for our crew.
In the process of completing the above projects, our volunteers learn the skills necessary to work with line, wood, and other marine materials. On occasion we also train in the language of sailing, delve into navigation, and build the skills to help raise Friendship 's sails in the future.
