Item Description
In the glorious open-water season on Lake Superior, North House’s schooner Hjordis is a joyous presence out on the Grand Marais harbor. Her green hull and maroon sails are like poetry, seeming to beckon adventurers out onto the water. Her steel hull and deck are literally a floating classroom for innumerable Lake Superior outings as well as single and multi-day workshops focused on the age-old craft of sailing. This Yard by Yard auction item focuses on an essential task for any hard-working sailboat – sewing new sails for the coming year. Better still, your investment in the high-quality fabric to do the job right will open the door for North House’s educational mission to take flight. Your generosity will in a sense be matched by the hard work of several key sailing volunteers, who will learn the craft of sewing sails during a multi-day work session. Pull them lines, raise them sails, chart a course for northern waters!
Item Special Note
This item is a tax-deductible donation to the Yard by Yard project, helping to defray the cost of crafting new sails for the schooner Hjordis. All Yard by Yard bidders will be mailed a Hjordis cap they can wear with pride!
