LYNX FRIENDS

As we tucked Lynx under her winter cover we wish peace, joy and happiness to you and your family during this coming holiday season. We have come to the end of another wonderful sailing season and we want to thank those of you who have contributed to Lynx in the past years and also thank you to all of our new friends for supporting us throughout the Great Lakes and the East Coast. The Lynx is presently wintering at the Mystic Seaport where she is undergoing an extensive maintenance period having logged many miles for the past ten years inclusive of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, as well as sailing though-out the Great Lakes over the past two summers. Our selected crew and volunteers will be working long days in a very cold and frigid climate. This maintenance period includes comprehensive Caterpillar engine service, inspection of all systems, spar and rigging-maintenance, and the list continues to grow. This will ensure a safe and sound rig, in which to continue our mission.

Climb aboard and show your support by contributing to our 10th Annual Lynx Maintenance Fund as there is no way around the fact that maintaining tall ships costs money and that a lay-up period without revenue is difficult especially in these tough times. We need your help to reach our goal of $75,000.00. Please join us in our continued efforts to keep our American Heritage and Maritime History alive and well for future generations.

America's Privateer, Lynx, an 1812 square topsail schooner appropriate to the times, will come out of her winter cover in early April ready to participate in honoring our country in many of the magnificent 2012 Bicentennial commemorations. Follow her ongoing progress and see the day to day projects that our outstanding Captain and crew are accomplishing on our website.
