Every five years the US Coast Guard requires a hull inspection while out of the water. Our inspection was done at this time and will not need to be inspected again out of the water until 2015. We have an in water inspection annually.
School trips are scheduled for this Spring along with other events which will be posted on the web site (www.schoonergloucesternj.com) and in Gloucester City News.
