Windeward Bound
The Windeward Bound is a brigantine based in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.
It is commonly used for training youth (of any age) to sail, offering training and voyages that last from anywhere between an hour or two to many weeks. In 2002 - 2003 the ship and her crew embarked on a successful circumnavigation voyage around Australia to celebrate the 200th Anniversary of the first circumnavigation, charting and naming of the continent of Australia by Matthew Flinders. [1] During this voyage the crew docked into most Australian ports and coastal communities with the help of Coastcare to spread the message for individuals and organisations to become actively involved in on ground works to protect and manage coastal and marine environments.
The ship was also able to connect with local schools and community groups by performing a play recounting the adventures had by Flinders in his circumnavigation through the Play "Roundabout" written by Les Winspear and performed by Theatre Alfresco.
