Shearwater is a rare New York schooner with nearly a century of history behind her. As she approaches her centennial, she requires serious restoration equal to her legacy. This campaign funds Phase 1 of that work and is the foundation for everything that follows. It covers yard selection and long-lead procurement so the project can move from planning into action with the right team, materials, and reserved path into the yard.

Your support helps move forward the first phase of Shearwater&rsquo;s centennial restoration, including yard selection, early planning, and the critical long lead materials needed to begin the work properly. This stage lays the groundwork for everything that follows and helps turn a long held vision into real progress. We are deeply grateful to have you with us at the beginning of this effort. Restoring a vessel like Shearwater takes care, commitment, and a community of people who believe she is worth preserving for the next century. Thank you for being part of Shearwater&rsquo;s next chapter! Warmly,Team Buoyantbuoyantusa.org
