Geronimo is a 69-foot cutter-rigged sloop designed by Ted Hood specifically for the school and built in 1998 by New England Boat Works. Geronimo is a United States documented vessel and is inspected and certified by the United States Coast Guard as a Sailing School Vessel.
As a School Sailing Vessel, Geronimo must meet a wide range of standards set for its certification. This includes regular inspections of the vessel by the U. S. Coast Guard, safety inspections, drills and a high level of certification for the professional crew.
We focus on teaching seamanship and navigation skills, and allow students to assume leadership responsibilities while they are sailing in Geronimo. Since students sail as crew members, not passengers, they are instructed in all aspects of sail handling and emergency procedures.
Geronimo has a two-captain rotation, one captain at sea and the other acting as the Shoreside Administrator. Deborah Hayes is the Program Director and Captain at sea during the spring and summer cruises and Mike Dawson is the Captain during the fall and winter cruises.
Stephen Connett was the first captain and led the program since its beginning in 1974 until his retirement in the spring of 2001.
