THE NATIONAL SAILING MUSEUM - Hands on Sailing exhibits/Herreshoff, Museum Marine Boatyard
Join host Leslie Mueller at the Sailing Museum on the waterfront in Newport, RI. Learn the basics of sailing, the making of a sailor and more in this very interactive museum. Set sail with Leslie as she navigates a racing boat at the virtual tiller exhibit, and see what it's really like to be part of a sailing team on deck a racing yacht. Then join us at the nearby Herreshoff Marine Museum. Learn about the history of design, engineering and manufacturing of boats that took place on-site at Herreshoff Manufacturing. See their private model room and workshop and the spectacular Hall of Boats and the 75' DEFIANT built in 1992 for the America's Cup race.
