We are embarking on the path to bring Sorcery back to sailing for the purpose COMMUNITY service. Yes, her racing days are over yet there is so much more she can do through support to our community.

Out reach supporting At Risk Youth, Learn to Sail programs and Wounded Warriors to mention a few.

Over the next year we will inspect and replace any necessary standing rigging and add easily handled sails systems to simplify crew needs, repair lots of other items along the way. She actually is in very good shape considering she has not been sailed (but watched over) since 2010.

Stay tuned as we will be documenting the process of what has already been inspected, achieved and the phases to complete. We'll be posting to social media the steps along the way.

Thanks!

Some fun working on clips as we ramp up to bringing Sorcery back to serve a higher purpose as a Community Service Fundraising Platform supporting Learn to Sail programs, At Risk Youth, Wounded Warriors and other worthy organizations assisting them to achieve success.
Soon we will be making regular short videos showing what has been done and what must be done to return this magnificent yacht back to sailing for a purpose.
