Thanks for the welcome, Jamie. I'll look for some old photos to post.
Hey Jamie,
Hope this finds you well. Been a long time since i was on here last...
Let's catch up! 504-495-9750 jmleagl@gmail.com

Thank you!
It certainly is a challenging year, but I'm looking at it as an opportunity to shape the program to be something students continue to love. We all love Cap so much, and I miss sailing with him every day more than I can express. It is because of Cap's dedication in training us that we are able to adapt and function well under all these new circumstances.
You'll be happy to know that Capt. Jay is a very qualified, very kind man, and he is up for the task as well.
I'm happy for you and everyone who has gotten to sail on Tabor Boy. Schooner Crew is truly a family.

I agree with the comment that the Tabor Boy changed, influenced many lives. Personally after college I started down a pretty standard and boring path in construction management. From my experience on the Tabor Boy, I learned what really made me happy was the hands on aspect of construction. Not to bore you with a long history, I will just mention that I am still at it and will be moving a slave cabin 10 miles this spring. And, that is fun.
In addition, I am signing up for an American Sailing Association program to refresh my knowlege of navigation, maintenance, etc.
We were the lucky ones at Tabor when we signed on the Tabor Boy for our sport.
Thanks, Jamie. There is a Robert Perry Fan Group on Facebook you might want to join since he designed your Valiant 42, which is fine yacht.
That's what I hear. The old wharf is now luxury condos. Well they aren't making any more land there.
Thanks, Jamie - fun to have discovered the site. Great job! Getting to sail Morris boats is pretty sweet, but Jon Barrett's the guy with the rock star job! I have the pleasure of crossing paths with him now and then.
It was terrific sailing aboard the Tabor Boy last year at Reunion - first time in 40 years.
The photo insert is of the Tabor Boy in '09. I walked into my office in Bass Harbor, Maine one foggy June morning, looked out my window and behold!!
Hi Jamie! You and I met at reunion last year! Thanks for welcoming me to this great website! I just posted that there are Recycled Tabor Boy Sail Bags for Sale. Let me know if you want one/some: cquirk@taboracademy.org
