About Us
FLAGSHIP WOLF PRESERVATION SOCIETY IS COMMITTED TO:
Introducing the wonderful world of traditional sailing to new generations for years to come. Our goal is to have Flagship WOLF ready to offer Day Sails and Courses at Sea by November 2021 or sooner.
Our mission is to offer educational, cultural, leadership, environmental, and humanitarian sail programs for youth, families, and seniors in Key West, as well as at other scheduled ports of call in Florida, The Bahamas, and Caribbean.
The stewards of the 74’ Flagship WOLF, the Conch Republic’s storied duo, First Sea Lord Admiral Finbar and wife Julie, are charting a new course for the ship and invite you to join them as they embark on this exciting journey to “Keep the Ancient Art of Sail Alive!”
