Draw-mania! Sail (Aboard an antique Schooner!) 6/28

As of right now-- 11am. Sunday-- the sail is still good to go and we're expecting a great time! C'mon down!

WEATHER UPDATE: Right now (Saturday night) the weather is not so good for sailing. But It's unclear if we will get a respite Sunday morning. "Expect the best, but prepare for the worst" is going to be out motto. The Captain of the boat will decide tomorrow if we'll be sailing, but obviously if it's raining, we won't.
IF THE SAIL IS CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER the museum will reschedule for another Sunday, and we'll still have a great time then.
IF THE WEATHER IS UNCERTAIN call the Seaport museum's Customer Service office and they'll let you know.
I WILL TRY TO UPDATE YOU SUNDAY MORNING AS SOON AS I KNOW WHAT THE DECISION IS.
--Jeff

It was so popular last year, we had to do it again! Draw-mania! takes to the waters with a 2-hour art sail aboard the Schooner Pioneer! Join us for a fun and relaxing sail around the tip of Manhattan on one of the most scenic and historic boats afloat, with three inspiring figure models on deck!! How much fun will that be?
Bring your own art materials and refreshments of your choice, and expect to have a great time

South Street Seaport Museum's Schooner PIONEER and Draw-Mania!, the long-running downtown draw-a-thon and variety show, will be offering artists, art students, and others, the opportunity to sketch during a two-hour Pioneer sail.

Attractions Include: Three live art models, the harbor, shoreline, other boats, Pioneer, and the crew as they sail PIONEER.

You will be provided with extra water, paper towels, a place to keep work till ashore, and once ashore, fixative for those who wish to use it.

See the sights of New York Harbor from the decks of the historic 130-year-old schooner PIONEER. The vessel, first launched in 1885, was built as an iron-hulled sloop to carry cargo along the Delaware River and was even featured in the pilot of Boardwalk Empire. Bring a picnic lunch, afternoon snack or favorite beverage as you enjoy sketching and your sail!

*Ticketing Policy:

Weather:
We will sail in shine only at sail time. If rain occurs during the sail, but the captain deems the waters safe, or that it is a passing storm, the sail will continue. In case of continuous rain, the captain will return to dock. If the sail runs for less than an hour, passengers may reschedule for a rain date art sail. If the sail runs for more than an hour, no exchanges will be offered. In the event there is weather that is determined by the Captain to be unsafe, the sail will be canceled. Purchaser is then entitled to re-schedule at another time or credit towards another sail that can be purchased in the future. All weather related decisions are made as close to the time of sail as possible. If the sail is canceled, all online ticket buyers will be notified via email at the email address they provided when they purchased tickets.
