Welcome Aboard!
For over 50 years, the schooner Tabor Boy has taken young Tabor Academy students to sea under sail. This remarkable ship has played a significant role in helping Tabor Academy transform adventurous teenagers into confident young adults.
The Tabor Boy Project is a living history project and social network by and for Tabor Boy sailors and supporters. While it will help create and preserve the rich stories that make up the schooner's history, it will also connect shipmates that have been "lost" for years.
If you have EVER sailed aboard Tabor Boy as a student, crew, parent, guest or Sea Ranger, for an hour, day, week, semester or year(s), please tell your story(s), comment on other's stories, post pictures and videos and invite shipmates to be part of this living history / storytelling archive. It's easy, fun and you can't break it!
Hop aboard and let's tell the Tabor Boy story together!

The Tabor Boy reunion in Annapolis on April 5, 2014 was a wonderful event. It was great to meet "new" school head John Quirk, XO Holly Francis, XO Ryan England (Tabor '04, USNA '08, Columbia University School of Medicine '17!). It was also very nice to catch up with Capt Geil, and Charlie Ingersoll '78, and to meet Charlie's wife, Honor Ingersoll.I had not been on the boat for quite a few years. Interesting changes above and below decks. Besides the obvious rigging changes, I noticed: 2…See More
Holly Francis left a comment for Bro Russell"I definitely did receive your letter.
It meant more to me than you might know -- everything you said rings true when I think about what I have been learning on the schooner in the past four years. "drink in, demand, insist, seek, devour…"

I had not been on the boat for quite a few years. Interesting changes above and below decks. Besides the obvious rigging changes, I noticed: 2 generators, not 1; a hatch leading from the XO's/1st officer's cabin to the foredeck (so that each watertight compartment has its own exit path); main and fore halyards made of line, not cable; no more heavy cranks and brakes to raise/lower the main & foresail; no more running backstays; 4 additional fo'c's'l bunks; higher lip on entrance to the deckhouse; no more head by the engine room, but two heads forward of the galley; a partition in the main salon to create a more private…
