Pacific Swift


Built by S.A.L.T.S. as a working exhibit at Expo 86 in Vancouver,
British Columbia, the Pacific Swift has sailed over 100,000 deep-sea
miles on training voyages for young trainees. Her offshore travels have
taken her to Australia and Europe, to remote communities on Easter and
Pitcairn Islands, and to many other unusual and far-flung ports of
call. When not offshore, the Swift provides sail training programs
along the coast of British Columbia. These include shorter school
programs in the spring and fall and 10-day summer trips open to anyone
aged 13 to 25.

Offshore Voyage Six

Applications will be available for download and are being accepted as
of June 1, 2006.

Pretty Steep prices to be stacked up like cordwood
in a schooner for months, sharing accommodations with
20+ other people.

$45,575.00 for the whole trip! Even if the prices are
in the monopoly money they use in Canada, the costs
are very steep. That is enough for someone to buy a
decent boat of their own!

Fully booked, they would gross $957,075.00 on the
trip. I doubt the paid crew makes all that much. Some
one in the back office is being paid too much.

It might be worth it if your kid has a drug problem and
you want to dry him or her out.

Anyone want to guess what SALT really stands for?
