ADM Finbar Gittelman & Julie McEnroe Invite You to Support Our Efforts 

Help Us Get Sailing Again!

Your Support Today Funds Our 2021 Yard Haul Out to Complete Maintenance Required by USCG

A NEW BEGINNING AS WE CHART OUR COURSE TOWARDS THE FUTURE 

 

Announcing we will partner with Sunset Sail Key West to handle all ship operations and will be working closely with owner Seth Salzmann. Until then, Fin will stay on as WOLF Master and over the next year, will begin the transition of turning helm over to Seth, who learned to sail aboard WOLF, and is Commanding Officer of the Conch Republic Navy.) 

The FWPS will raise funds to subsidize the ever-growing costs for yard haul outs and other major maintenance projects.

Fin and Seth have been partners in the 33′ Custom Sloop High Tide (built by Fin in 1980) and are excited to return WOLF to daily Day Sail Operations.  Waves of Change PeaceVision Voyages, Young Seafarers’ Courses at Sea, and Specialty & Community Sails will be coordinated by FWPS.
