HISTORY: South Bayfront Sailing Association is pleased to have one of the most beautiful schooners in the world today. The Bill of Rights was designed by McCurdy and Rhodes who modeled her after traditional coastal schooners of the late nineteenth century. She was built in 1971 by Harvey Gamage in Bristol, Maine. From 1971 to 1997 the Bill of Rights graced the New England waters. In 1998, she sailed 5700 nautical miles to her home in Southern California where she joined the fleet of sail training vessels owned by the Los Angeles Maritime Institute (LAMI).
Bill of Rights has successfully provided an amazing learning environment for character building with wonderful sail training programs from the Los Angeles Harbor to the Channel Islands; first as one of LAMI’s TopSail Youth Training ships and, most recently, offered by ATSI for adventure cruises and sail training excursions from Channel Islands Harbor to Santa Barbara and the Channel Islands. Over the past decades she has changed the lives of thousands of young students and program participants.
Today, the Bill of Rights is berthed at the California Yacht Marina’s excursion dock in the Chula Vista Harbor. Surrounded by a national marine reserve and at home in the southern San Diego bay Bill of Rights, the schooner is available for on-the-water educational programs linking education, science and art in an innovative maritime learning platform for all ages. She is available for day cruise and overnight life-changing adventures. We encourage all to Sail the Dream.
