RANGER and VALKYRIE need to be hauled and made ready to teach Classic Sailing and for a Sail Training Program in Panamá.

Right now we need financial help to do this. After three years of maintaining them  - unpaid - we are out of funds and need help. If you love old wooden boats and you want to help save them and put them to work, please support one of our funds. 

  • First!  Pay the Watchman Cholito.
Picture
Cholito lives in the Vacamonte boatyard.  Our mast shed is his home. Currently, we are unable to pay him his $12 a day! And he worked through Christmas unpaid!

He has been guarding and caring for both Ranger and Valkyrie for many years.  So these special historic boats are preserved and made available to train young people the crafts of sailing, he works every day on their maintenance: 
  • checking bilges 
  • charging batteries for the bilge pumps 
  • ensuring they are not boarded and robbed
  • advising any problem on moorings
This Christmas. Ranger sprung a leak and without Cholito she would have sunk.  He has manned the pumps twice a day without pay!  We thought he was quitting last night, but he doesn't want her to sink.  So he has kept working. We are starting a fund to keep him on the job!

$100 will keep Cholito on the pumps for a week and cover extras such as fuel for a generator!  Email us if you want to help!  We need cash and experienced helpers!
