Unicorn
Summary
Built piece by piece from old German U-Boats, Unicorn is a uniquely built schooner. The unique building design matches well with its unique crew of all women. The Unicorn’s mission is to teach teenage girls confidence, esteem, to develop social conscience and to teach the value of sisterhood. The schooner is open to women all over the world and welcomes diversity among the young women on board. The Unicorn also works with BeamPines, which offers on-board experiences to help develop management and executive teams. This is a terrific stop for mothers and their daughters during the 2010 Festival!
