Join the crew of S/V Resolution for a 5-day sail from Kingston NY to New Bedford MA from May 7-12. It's a dramatic and wonderfully varied trip, whether you're looking to gain hands-on experience sailing in multiple, unique bodies of water or simply want the adventure of a multi-day journey aboard a classic and beautiful boat.

We sail down the Hudson River for almost 90 miles, passing through the Hudson Highlands before either heading down the south coast of Long Island or the north shore, depending on weather conditions. Either way, we will sail past New York City, get some open water sailing in, and anchor in a few beautiful anchorages. Potential ports of call include NYC, Port Jefferson, Block Island, Cuttyhunk, or a few other locations - again, depending on weather.

S/V Resolution is a beautifully maintained Cape Dory 45, a cutter-rigged ketch built for serious offshore passage making. She is hull #1 of only three built and therefore not a common sight. She was designed by the famous naval architect Carl Alberg, as one of his last and greatest designs, and built by the famous Cape Dory Yachts in East Taunton, Massachusetts in 1983.

Captain Joe Drago has spent his entire life on the water, both commercially and recreationally, accumulating more than 300,000 miles at sea including hundreds of days in the Gulf Stream. Captain Drago has been leading adventure sails up and down the Eastern seaboard for years, visiting ports from Kingston to Newfoundland.

Whether you're an experienced sailor or this is your first overnight trip on the water, you'll be encouraged to participate in the sailing of the boat, but if you'd rather not, that's fine too.

However, before bidding, please read this guide to what to expect to be sure you can physically manage the trip (and feel free to reach out to Capt. Drago with any questions): https://sailingresolution.com/pages/overnight-coastal-sailing-what-to-expect
