Amazing Grace is a 83' topsail schooner based
out of Gig Harbor, Washington in the heart of the Puget
Sound. Like other schooners, Amazing Grace is the
traditional American sailing craft. These 'tall ships' fought the British in the War of Independence and
again in 1812, both as ships of the U.S. Navy and as privateers. Today we
see them in adventure films, advertising, and where tall ships gather.
Sail into a harbor on Amazing Grace and watch the heads turn as
people see and hear echoes of the past.
Amazing Grace will be available for charter in San Diego, CA beginning October 15th, 2009.

Having sailed to San Diego for the great weather to do maintenance projects, Amazing Grace also had the privilege of sailing with some famous San Diego tallships. She held her own in gun battles with Lynx, California and Surprise, from the movie Master and Commander.
Amazing Grace also participated in a “race” with the schooner, America and the Lynx with guests from all over the world on the three boats.
The San Diego Maritime Museum gave us a wonderful welcome and included us in these fun sailing adventures.
