We have also organized summer day camps for students which are proving very successful. There have been significant headwinds in raising funds. The COVID-19 pandemic has attracted funding from some of our more reliable donors. We continue to work extremely hard to raise ever shrinking dollars and your support is as important now as it ever has been. Unfortunately, the Government of Bermuda slashed our funding by 66%. Not to be deterred, we believe our experiential education for young Bermudians is transformational and builds lasting character. We hosted our Awards Ceremony on Sunday July 5th which saw recognition expressed for thirty worthy junior sailors. In addition, we hosted the first ever Spirit of Bermuda Rally and the Bermuda Triangle Race in St. Georges the weekend of July 10th. It was very successful with four foreign boats arriving in Bermuda and a Festival of Sail for the Comet class on July 12th. I would like to thank our board, staff, students and donors for providing me the opportunity to serve the Bermuda Sloop Foundation.

  • The Poor Man's Ljungström
    The poor man’s Ljungström rig (.. or how a simplified Ljungström rig can be a good alternative on a small boat...) ..by Arne Kverneland... ver. 20110722 Fredrik Ljungström: Once upon a time there lived an extraordinary man in Sweden, named Fredrik Ljungström (1875 – 1964). Like his father and brothers he turned out to be an inventor, even greater than the others. Among his over 200patents (some shared with others) the most lucrative were probably efficient steam turbines to drive electric generators and locomotives (1920) and even more important, the rotating heat regenerator which cut the coal consumption on the steam engines with over 30% (around 1930). Going through the list of patents, it is clear that he must have been a real multi-genius (.. for more info, just google Fredrik Ljungström...). The Ljungström rig – the original: Being also a keen sailor, in 1935 Mr. Ljungström came up with another brilliant idea; the Ljungström rig (Lj-rig). He had learned how dangerous it could be to handle sail on the foredeck of a small boat and his solution was radical: The diagram above of a Ljungström rig is copied from the book “RACING, CRUISING and DESIGN by Uffa Fox. (ISBN 0-907069-15-0 in UK, 0-87742-213-3 in USA). Great reading! This is a one-sail rig set on a freestanding wooden mast (.. in later designs the aft stay was omitted). The luff boltrope of the doubled sail went in a track in the mast and just as today’s roller genoas it was hoisted in spring and lowered at the end of the season.

  • 1 MB2013 Story Behind Spirit 61913
    Marion Bermuda— Spirit of Bermuda Day 6 Royal Hamilton Amateur Dinghy Club, Paget BERMUDA–, June 19, 2013: From Spirit of Bermuda – Wednesday JUNE 19, 2013 THE STORY BEHIND THE “SPIRIT OF BERMUDA”, the three masted schooner at the RHADC dock. We are now safely in port at the RHADC, having had a well deserved breakfast and enjoying the reunion with our families. Spirit of Bermuda is tied up at the pier in hopes that people will come visit her over the next few days and see what a wonderful program Bermuda has built for its youth, with the tremendous support of the Bermudian community. As you look out at her or come visit her, we thought you might like to know a bit more about the story behind The Spirit of Bermuda. Our sailing master, Alan Burland, is 1 of the 3 founding members of the Bermuda Sloop Foundation. Started in 1996, the program grew out of the founders’ concern over the negative influence of pop culture on Bermuda’s youth. Shocked by the sudden presence of gangs on an island traditionally free from such destructive behavior, these visionaries aspired to create a sustainable educational experience for all Bermudian youth. Since Alan and the Sloop’s cofounders, Malcolm Kirkland and Jay Kempe, were all experienced sailors, creating an educational sailing vessel quickly arose as the logical solution. The foundation has several objectives: First, to create an experiential learning environment for all public school children. On each voyage, Spirit’s highly trained professional crew takes roughly 21 students on an adventure lasting 5 days at sea.
