Maine will celebrate its 200th birthday in 2020 and there\u2019s no better place to enjoy the festivities than on the mid-Maine coast in Rockland on July 3rd for the\u00a0Great Schooner Race<\/a>. Now\u2019s the time to book one of the 20 schooners that are set to participate this year. They\u2019ll be joined by additional historic vessels from throughout the region, along with members of Tall Ships America. Spectators can stand on the Rockland Breakwater with its impressive lighthouse at the end and watch dozens of windjammers enter Rockland harbor under full sail. But even more exciting is to be one of the lucky few aboard a windjammer. I\u2019ve had the privilege of going on three memorable windjammer sails with both my dad and my daughter and I can say without hesitation that it\u2019s the best way to savor Maine\u2019s picturesque coast. Prices for Race Week start at $1000 per person, including all meals, accommodations, activities and participation in the Great Schooner Race during your week-long (or shorter) cruise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
