To celebrate the relaunch, Clearwater will host a public dockside relaunch ceremony on Sunday, July 31, at the pier in Cold Spring at 6 p.m.
Following the relaunch ceremony, the sloop will depart the dock at 7 p.m. for a public sail, which will include live music.
Tickets for the sail are expected to sell out quickly and can be purchased at www.clearwater.org.
“The sloop Clearwater passed her U.S. Coast Guard inspection and has resumed sailing with passengers," said Dave Conover, Clearwater’s interim executive director. "We’re very happy to be back on the Hudson sailing again. Check our sailing schedule online if you are interested in sailing on Clearwater. We also look forward to some interesting programs coming up in the fall.”
The relaunch ceremony will take place at the fixed pier at the bottom of Main Street in Cold Spring.
Captain Nick Rogers said, “With wooden boats in particular, there’s always work to be done. Clearwater has undertaken an enormous hull restoration and completed it. As much as the Clearwater crew loves woodworking, we love sailing even more. Sharing the sailing experience with the people of the Hudson Valley is what we look forward to the most.”
