"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…"
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!

First Tabor Boy Female XO!
June 6th, in an email from Bob Thompson, Director of Capital Giving:
“It was announced this morning in our last Chapel that Holly Francis ’14 of Marion, MA will be next year’s Executive Officer.
As the first female XO, Holly is an extremely competent individual who will lead the schooner in its Centennial year. Two historic events for 2014!”
As a former TABOR BOY XO, I am so pleased to hear this wonderful news. I have great confidence that Holly will be an outstanding XO and carry the great responsibility of seeing the TABOR BOY through her centennial year.
Bravo Zulu Holly!!!
