Basic Port Assumptions • She will be 16’ draft, • 164’ sparred length • If at a T dock, we need at least 80’ dockage with overhangs either side • Need 50’ for a slip (32’ beam, 54’ with yards square) • Stbd side to always • Need to design ramps to fit all docks • No grand arrivals. She gets there when she can for weather window. She can have a Grand Opening set on a certain day. • Not handicapped accessible
PORT AND BERTHING CRITERIA: FROM VESSEL OPERATIONS STANDPOINT • Draft: CWM will likely draw in excess of 16’. • Accessible from main harbor with not more than 1 tug and two assisting vessels. • Protection from wind • Access by fire and rescue personnel • Nearby berthing for ROANN • Possible nearby berthing for escort tug. • Suitable dock construction and maintenance. • Electrical distribution • Non emergency vehicle access: Supplies, exhibits, sales, catering. • 2 ramps will be in use.
PORT AND BERTHING CRITERIA: FROM A PROGRAMATIC AND ADVANCEMENT STANDPOINT • Suitable dock construction and maintenance • Electrical distribution for tents, vendors, lighting, sound equipment, etc. • Dockside space for XXX number of people. • Dockside space for XXX number of vendor, exhibit, food service, sponsor tents. Tent size?? • Parking within a reasonable walking distance. • Bus parking within a reasonable walking distance. • Safe neighborhood after dark.
Cons • Not in downtown (could have a tent in town near a launch to promote to visitors) • Need to check when big summer events are held (Jazz fest, folk fest, etc) • No showers for crew (maybe Seamen’s Church, ASTA or Sail Newport could help) • Dock fees? • CONTACT • State owned dock. Need to contact ASAP to check availability • Cruise ships also use this • Susan has met park manager NewportFt Adams Pros Excellent dock (225’) Close to entrance to harbor Great visibility from all of Newport Great visibility from NYYC with direct launch service Plenty of parking Lots of room for tents Party “patio” along water nearby Eisenhower House for events (run by state) Relationship with Museum of Yachting Great public access Adjacent to Block Island Ferry dock Public restrooms closeby

NewportDetails • Tim Mills- harbormaster- office is in Perrotti Park • Evan Smith at the Convention and visitor center. They have a marketing meeting once a month, we should get in there soon • Word is that town loves Tall Ships visiting because it is a moneymaker • Check with corps of engineers for recent depth survey • Check NYYC schedule for 2014 for events
Cons • No showers etc for crew(?) • TSA requirements? New BedfordState Pier Pros Excellent dock, plenty of length, depth, power, etc Made contact with Pier manager Vineyard and Cuttyhunk Ferries come in and out of here Plenty of wharf space for tents Good visibility from street and town Adjacent to fishing piers Ernestina tied up here (Fairfield Inn and Suites at end of wharf) Parking garage nearby
Provincetown Transportation • Cape Air flies from Logan to P-town 7x/day $90 each way, 30 min travel time • (no other scheduled cities to P-town) • Charter flight from Groton airport option? • Ferry is hour an a half, $80 roundtrip 3x/day from Boston • Also a ferry from Plymouth
Provincetown • What are we doing there? • If expect crowds to come aboard, we will need a barge there to offload them and a staircase from the barge onto the ship • If we expect to only board daysail pax, then we can be on a mooring with staircase from water.
Boston • Fan Pier at Moakley Courthouse • Across a foot bridge from downtown • Public bathrooms • No garbage, water, or power • Parking lots available, but expensive • Room for parties • Ramp down to good floating dock • Tall Ship pier, No charge
Boston Constitution Pier (first choice) Pier 1 City controlled, but in the Navy Yard Nice dock, easy entrance Fence across the water will need to be moved Need to pass through Security to get to gated Constitution area Great to have the boats near each other Museum support system Water Taxi access nearby, parking more difficult
Galley • Will we use wood stove? If trained cook • Add ice chests • Keep food simple during sails • Food services trailer / tent for food while ashore? • MS has stainless food trailer • Need to feed permanent crew • ROANN- her stove not as big as CWM’s • Storeroom and pantry on CWM could be food storage
Eating • Will use paper and plastic instead of “china” • We will not be able to sterilize real plates and silverware • Put tables and chairs in the hold for eating and relaxing
Barrels • Need to get a lot of them to put in the hold and use as storage for: • Food • Bosuns supplies • etc
Deck Layout for Comfort • Main Hatch could have table / benches • Workbench could layout lunch buffet • Will need foldable benches/chairs to put on deck during sail and stow below during port visits

Ramps • Maybe no floating docks • Not handicapped accessible • Need freeboards of docks and ship(!) to design ramps • Need to determine tide range in all ports • Get Dan to look at ramp design / tidal range/bulwark height/dock height • Will need to determine width of docks • Maybe a ramp for access from water (while moored) (staircase)
