Sea Sharp’s restoration is underway, and we’re inviting you to help shape her future. In 1965 Sharon Sites Adams sailed the 26-foot folkboat on her first solo ocean voyage from California to Hawaii. Today, Sea Sharp needs a complete rebuild. Her backbone, planks, and rigging all must be replaced. With your support, we can ensure she sails again, not as a relic, but as a living vessel of history, craft, and community. Every contribution moves us closer to launching her back into the water.

This project isn’t just about repairing a boat, it’s about creating a space where people belong. Our workshop will bring women and queer folks into the fold to learn traditional skills in a safe, welcoming environment. Once the boat is in the water, small-boat sailing programs will connect the restoration work to the joy of being on the water. The journey will take two to three years, and your donation, whether one-time or ongoing, provides the planks, tools, and time it takes to breathe new life into Sea Sharp. Join the crew and be a part of the next chapter in Sea Sharp’s voyage.
