While I don't\nbelieve our efforts align well enough to warrant the submission of\na proposal against the Commission's request I am interested in the\nService Entrepreneurial Awards program as I believe we may well\nalign there.\nSince 1989 members of our organization have contributed nearly\n$180,000 in private funds to create and establish our programs. We\nhave had no federal, state, our community financial assistance in\ndoing this.\nAs I read about the Entrepreneurial Awards program I became\nexcited. We are very close to bringing our Freedom's Wind program\nto fruition. We project that for $75,000 in seed money we can raise\n$9,600,000 in capital and fully fund our program for 25 years. This\namount equates to an initial outlay of $150.00 per student--not a\nbad investment on the governments part.\nI have enclosed a copy of the Freedom's Wind proposal we are\nsubmitting to the Commission on National and Community Service for\nconsideration under the Service Entrepreneurial Awards program. I\nwould very much appreciate any assistance that you may be able to\nlend to this program.\nSincerely,\nRobert Rohit Booth Book\nOperations Director\nP.S. Please note our new phone number: (401) 842-0647\nA Division of Square S'Is Ltd., Member of American Sail Training Association.\nSquare S'ls does not discriminate with regard to race, creed, color or sex.\nProposal\nfor\nFunding In Support Of\nFreedom's Wind\nEducational Model Development\nA. The Challenge:\nThe nation's school systems are struggling with failure.\nInitially brought to national attention by Theodore R. Sizer's\nbook Horace's Compromise: The Dilemma of the American High School\nand his vision of \"Essential Schools\" this failure has been made\nfrighteningly clear by the 1990 Commission on the Skills of the\nAmerican Workplace report, America's Choice\nthe 1992 Rhode\n,\nIsland Skills Commission report, Rhode Island's Choice\nand the\n1991 and 1992 reports issued by Secretary Martin's Commission on\nAchieving Necessary Skills (SCANS)\nThe 1990 America's Choice\nreport stated that nationally\ntwenty percent of all students entering high school are expected\nto drop out. Combine this with the Rhode Island Skills\nCommission report which concludes that 75% 1 of the students\nremaining will leave the educational system without the skills\nnecessary to gain meaningful employment and the situation appears\nFreedom's Wind Educational Model Development Funding Proposal\nepidemic.\nRemedial action has become a priority issue for the 90's.\nTerms like \"restructure\", \"performance oriented\", \"workplace\nknow-how\" and \"less means more\" dominate the thought process as\nschool systems nationwide strive to come to grips with the impact\nof the these issues. Pilot programs integrating academics with\nexperiential education are popping up across the United States.\nYet, for all this activity and promise there remain thousands who\nwill elect to drop out of the current system for as America's\nChoice\nso aptly pointed out students have \"little motivation to\nstudy hard because they see little or no relationship between\neducation and work\" (1).\n2. Description of Square Sails School:\nSquare Sails School was established as Square S'ls Ltd. (the\n\"S'ls\" being sailor slang for \"sails\") in 1988 for the purpose of\ndrop-out recovery program development. Square Sails' vision is\nto employ sailing vessel operations as the basis for a \"whole-\nschool thematic model\" curricula.\nIncorporated in the state of Rhode Island in November, 1989\nSquare S'ls received 501 (c) (3) status in August of 1990 and is\ncurrently comprised of some 15 concerned citizens operating in a\nvolunteer forum.\nThe organization maintains an active role in the community.\n2\nFreedom's Wind Educational Model Development Funding Proposal\nWe offer free day sails aboard our 40' topsail ketch Land's End\nto any formal youth group. In 1992 the Sail Outreach program\ncarried over 60 youth representing a variety of organizations\nincluding the Recreational Alternative to Drugs Program in\nGroton, Ct., Sail Newport's youth summer program, and numerous\nchurch groups. These fun and informative trips inspire kids to\nlearn more about themselves and to strive beyond drugs and the\nstreets.\nWe are formally involved with the Marine educational program\nat the Newport area Vocational - Technical Center where several\nof our members helped establish and now serve on the subcommittee\nfor Marine Occupations. Additionally, our Director of Operations\nserves as chairman of the Vocational - Technical Center Advisory\nCommittee (a committee comprised of local business leaders who\nassist the center director in curricula matters) and sits as a\nmember of the Rogers High School Restructuring Steering\nCommittee.\nIn 1990, 1991 and 1992 Square Sails School conducted public\ncourses in marlin spike seamanship and dingy repair/construction.\nIn 1993 we are expanding our public course effort to include\ncoastal navigation and piloting, sailing and a \"Spouse Survival\"\nsafety course featuring man-overboard recovery, flooding control,\nand emergency vessel operations for the boating spouse. (The\npublic courses allow us to pilot a variety of instructional\n3\nFreedom's Wind Educational Model Development Funding Proposal\ntechniques in preparation for a fully operational drop-out\nrecovery program scheduled to commence in 1996.)\nAll funding to date has come from our board and through\ngifts-in-kind. To date this has amounted to roughly $300,000.\nC. Ship as Thematic Model:\nFor nearly six thousand years ships have been intimately\nlinked with the furthering of knowledge. Since 2400 B.C. (the\nperiod of the first recorded ocean going sailing vessels) the\nskills required to pilot, navigate, sail, and provision have been\ndesired traits.\nThroughout the mid to late 1400's the pursuit of these\ntraits was closely linked to and precipitated scientific\nactivity. New thoughts and new ideas were developed or applied:\nlatitude and longitude, noon observations, and off-shore\ncapabilities. Ships were the cutting edge of technology.\nSo successful were they in this role that by the mid 1700's\nit was common place for \"young gentlemen\" to be placed aboard for\npurposes of education. Here they received lessons in\nmathematics, spherical trigonometry, and writing as well as\napprentice training in ship handling and navigation.\nThe practice of integrated ship/academic education continues\ntoday through merchant marine and naval academies and a handful\nof independent school programs which convincingly 2 demonstrate\n4\nFreedom's Wind Educational Model Development Funding Proposal\nthis historic venue remains viable.\nTo be sure, some educators have begun to rediscover the\nmerit of ship-based educational programs 3 Organizations like\nThe Sea Education Association (SEA) based in Woods Hole, Class\nAfloat in Canada, and Seamester in Mystic, Ct., offer accredited\ncollege programs. Other user schools such as the University Of\nMassachusetts 4 employ ships for special programs in sociology,\noceanography and/or environmental studies. Unfortunately these\nprograms are limited and are not generally available to college\nor secondary school students let alone drop-outs. Yet it is this\npopulation that we need so desperately to reach.\nJust exactly how do ships fit into the picture of\neducational salvation being painted by the restructuring effort?\nA sailing ship can be a magnificent tool in support of the five\ncompetency objectives of Resource Management, Interpersonal\nSkills, Information Acquisition/Processing, Systems\nUnderstanding, and Technology Application and their underlying\n\"foundation skills\" stressed by the SCANS reports as necessary\nelements of successful education. Take for example the routine\nchore of maintaining a position plot.\nMaintenance of a position plot requires the application of\ngraphing skills, chart reading, latitude and longitude, the\nrelationship of minutes of arc and distance traveled, and applied\ntechnology associated with reading and interpreting navigational\n5\nFreedom's Wind Educational Model Development Funding Proposal\ninstruments such as Ground Positioning System (GPS), LORAN, and\nRADAR. If celestial navigation is involved than the higher\nmathematics of spherical trigonometry combined with a pinch of\nastronomy also apply. The student involved must exercise a great\ncombination of foundation skills and competencies to achieve an\naccurate position.\nMathematical skills are directly associated with current\nsailing and in resolving time, speed, distance problems where in\nset and drift, deviation and variation, speed through water,\nspeed over ground, and mean depth all play parts. Similar\nexamples may also by found in the subjects of physics, geography,\nwrithing and basic communications skills. Radio transmissions,\nverbal commands, routine maintenance and ship qualification\n(learning each system aboard ship) all equate to a competency or\nfoundation skill.\nShips also support the performance oriented goals of\nachieving initial mastery. If, for example, six months or a year\nof the four-year educational program were undertaken aboard ship\nthe minimum service requirement for a professional license as\nAble Seaman would be satisfied. This would allow students to\nundertake the professional licensing examination at age 18--\ncreating an occupational skill at graduation.\nThere are also some interesting side benefits to shipboard\neducation. Think of the places students could see and the\n6\nFreedom's Wind Educational Model Development Funding Proposal\nmemories to be brought home. Think of the impact to\ninternational relations when a large portion of our population\nhas actually experienced the people in question.\nOf course there are other sides to the issue and one must\nkeep in mind that for all their significant benefits ships also\ncarry some significant drawbacks. Ships are expensive to\noperate. Ships go off-shore (for the most part) and present\nrisks to students not normal to the educational environment.\nStorms and heavy seas have been known to frighten students off\n(when they enter port) and homesickness coupled with seasickness\ncan make life miserable.\nIn today's tough economic times these drawbacks are not\nlost on those wielding the fiscal hammer. If ships are to be\nviable tools they must not only be safe but must present a\nreasonable cost-to-product ratio.\nFiscal creativity can be applied to ship based education as\nthe Freedom's Wind project discussed in the next section will\ndemonstrate.\nSafety is a matter of education, procedure, and compliance\nwith equipment regulation. It is a function of ensuring, as much\nas practical, that both student and vessel are prepared for any\ncontingency.\nStorms, seasickness, and homesickness are of a different\nnature. These have no administrative or procedural cure\n7\nFreedom's Wind Educational Model Development Funding Proposal\nrequiring, rather, personal confrontation on the part of each\nstudent. Challenges of this ilk form the ultimate learning\nsituation. For in confronting and overcoming them students must\ndig deep within themselves and, in so doing, discover perhaps\ntheir own true identity.\nIf one were to ignore for a moment all the other benefits of\nship based education: the technical experience, the teamsmanship,\nthe practical application of academic learning, this trait alone,\nthis element of self-discovery, would still make the ship one of\nthe earth's truly educational experiences--certainly one worth\ncalling forth and remembering as we struggle together to\nrestructure our educational system and our country.\nE. Freedom's Wind\nIn the mid 1800s, with the War of 1812 and the Napoleonic\nWars over, both the United States and Great Britain turned their\nmighty Naval sights on the Caribbean and ships of the slave\ntrade. Despite having been outlawed by both nations,\npreoccupation with the wars had left the door open and slaving\nremained a lucrative proposition. The post-war refocus of\nattention now threatened the trades long term anonymity.\nWith livelihoods on the line, slavers commissioned ever\nswifter designs, capable of out running and out maneuvering the\nmen-of-war. In answer both the United States and Great Britain\n8\nFreedom's Wind Educational Model Development Funding Proposal\ndesigned and constructed \"experimental\" ships consisting\nprimarily of small brig, brigantine, and hermaphrodite rigs\nimposed on fair Baltimore Clipper style hull forms. These\nexperimental ships evolved into fast sailors that were\nexceedingly successful in riding the winds of freedom.\nD.1 FREEDOM'S WIND--SHIP AND MISSION:\nFreedom's Wind is a 118-foot (LOD) 370-ton \"experimental\"\nship. Designed by renown naval architect, Thomas Gillmer (Pride\nof Baltimore II, Lady Maryland) this brigantine is representative\nof and based upon several experimental anti-salver designs built\nin the 1830s and 1840s. Just as her predecessors plied the seas\nto combat the dehumanizing condition of slavery, so too will\nFreedom's Wind, as she combats the modern form of slavery called\nignorance.\nFreedom's Wind's mission is two fold: to address the problem\nof marketable skills and education of drop-outs and to create a\nself funding basis for operations.\nD.2. Academic Model\nFreedom's Wind will carry a fully licensed crew and a\nprofessional educator along with ten student apprentice seamen.\n(Freedom's Wind will carry a total of 500 students through out\nher twenty five year life.) The students will work with the crew\n9\nFreedom's Wind Educational Model Development Funding Proposal\nand \"coaching teacher\" to operate the vessel: gaining instruction\nand experience associated with Coast Guard licensing requirements\nfor Able Seaman. Utilizing the ship as a \"thematic model\" they\nwill gain practical experience in academic skills through\nnavigation, piloting, vessel loading and stability exercises,\ncommunications, maintenance and regular instructional meetings.\nStudents will test for licensing as Able Seaman and Graduate\nEquivalency Diploma (GED) in month six of the program.\nD.3. FREEDOM'S WIND PARTNER-SHIP FUND:\nFreedom's Wind will be outfitted with ten owner's\nstaterooms each to be sold on a time share basis. Proceeds from\nthe sale will pay for the cost of construction and will establish\na trust fund to create the revenues necessary to ensure long term\noperations.\nThe funding goal for sale of the staterooms is $9.7 million.\nOf this money, $2.5 million will be earmarked for construction\nand outfitting of Freedom's Wind. The remaining $7.2 million\nwill establish the trust. Interest on the fund will be used to\nunderwrite the operation of the vessel and to provide\nscholarships to deserving youth. Youths will be selected based\non input from various state and/or private agencies dealing with\nthe target group.\n10\nFreedom's Wind Educational Model Development Funding Proposal\nD.4. FREEDOM'S WIND PARTNERSHIP:\nThe Partner-ship is comprised of a general partner and 480\ncontributing partners.\nThe General Partner - Square S'ls Ltd. a federally approved\n501 (c) (3) educational organization.\nThe Contributing Partners (hereafter referred to as\n\"the partners\" - 480 share owners purchasing shares\nranging in cost from $15,000 to $25,000. (See\npurchasing and financing).\nOperating Budget and Financial Responsibility - The\nprojected annual operating budget is $500,000 commencing in\nyear one and escalating annually at a rate of 4% thereafter.\nThis fund will cover all salaries, insurance, educational\nsupplies, food, port costs and maintenance.\nANNUAL CONTRIBUTION - Unlike the annual fees usually\nassociated with a \"time share\" the annual contribution\nis directly linked to performance of the trust. Trust\nperformance above 8% will result in no annual\nrequirement. Performance below 8% will result in\nan annual assessment being levied ranging from a\n11\nFreedom's Wind Educational Model Development Funding Proposal\nminimum of $180 to a maximum of $680 (based on\nperformance projections to a low of 4%). This\namount to be set at an annual Partner-ship meeting\nand to be based on the average earnings of the\ntrust for the 12 months preceding the meeting.\nFIDUCIARY MANAGEMENT - Trust funds will be placed with\nShearson Lehman Brothers, Inc.\nD.5. THE GENERAL PARTNER'S RESPONSIBILITIES:\nSquare S'ls Ltd. will provide staff and facilities to manage\nthe Freedom's Wind program. Management staff will consist of the\nfollowing personnel with responsibilities as indicated:\nOPERATIONS DIRECTOR - The Operations Director is responsible\nfor budgetary performance, hiring, negotiating port\nfacilities, maintenance planning, ship scheduling, and\ncapital assets of the organization.\nSERVICES DIRECTOR - The Services Director is responsible for\ncoordinating owner needs, broker services to \"sell\" open\ntime share periods, management of the partner time swap\nprogram, menu planning/purchasing of food, and\ntransportation services for partners to and from the vessel.\n12\nFreedom's Wind Educational Model Development Funding Proposal\nEDUCATIONAL DIRECTOR - The Educational Director is\nresponsible for curricula development, hiring of\nprofessional educators, establishing educational materials\nbudget, coordination with the Coast Guard Examination Office\nfor testing of graduating students, GED examinations, and\nthe partner safety program.\nSUPPORTING SERVICES - Square S'ls will maintain full\ninsurance on the vessel and liability for injury or damage\ncaused by vessel operations. (Note: insurance will be\nprovided under a group plan offered by Lloyd's Of London to\nmembers of the American Sail Training Association through\nAlexander and Alexander of Annapolis, Maryland.) Square\nS'ls will also retain legal, accounting and administrative\nservices consistent with the needs of the organization and\nwill maintain an on-line computer bulletin board for owner\ncommunications concerning swaps and sale of unused time.\nSquare S'ls will also publish a news letter, annual reports,\nand other documents as needed.\nD.6. THE PARTNER'S EXPECTATIONS:\nTo own a partner stateroom aboard Freedom's Wind and to have\nsaid stateroom available as scheduled in the purchasing agreement\n13\nFreedom's Wind Educational Model Development Funding Proposal\nfor a period of one week per year starting on Sunday afternoon\nand ending Saturday morning. To have transportation provided to\nand from the airport. To have three meals per day provided. To\nexercise voting rights pursuant to participation in major tall\nships events. (For example the next major international event is\nbeing planned for the year 2000. Events will be held in Europe\nand the United States of America. A major event of this stature\nwould ensure equal opportunity for all partners to participate\nbut would require sending the vessel foreign. Such an issue and\nopportunity would be presented, along with a projected budget,\nfor a general vote.)\nD.7. PURCHASING, VESSEL AVAILABILITY, AND FINANCING:\nFour hundred and eighty partner-ship shares are being\noffered in Freedom's Wind. Marketing is scheduled for 1993 with\nconstruction occurring in 1994 through 1996. Vessel availability\nis scheduled for July of 1996.\nThe prospective partner will be provided with a partnership\ncontract agreement which will stipulate the choice of stateroom\nand the selected week. This agreement when signed and returned\nto the general partner constitutes an agreement to purchase.\nWhen all 480 shares have been sold each partner will be\nnotified and will have 30 days in which to deposit 50% of the\nagreed sales price with the general partner. The remaining money\n14\nFreedom's Wind Educational Model Development Funding Proposal\nwill be due within one year. (Partners may elect a monthly\ninstallment or a one time lump sum at any time during that year.\nThere is no interest charged on the remaining balance.)\nD.8. CONSTRUCTION/INVESTMENT OF INITIAL DEPOSITS:\nConstruction costs are estimated currently at approximately\n$2.5 million. This amount will be placed into an operating\naccount in Bank Of Newport, Newport, Rhode Island and\nconstruction will begin immediately thereafter. (This equates to\napproximately $5300 per partner). The remainder of the deposit\nmonies will initiate the operating trust.\nLIMITATION OF RISK - At any given point in the construction\nprocess the partners will be at risk for only those funds\nactually obligated to the construction ($5,300). Should, at\nany point a partner wish to sell out of the Partner-ship,\nthat partner may elect to place his/her share privately or\nmay elect to have the general partner broker the share.\nFreedom's Wind will be constructed by master ship wright\nPeter Beaudreux of Baltimore builder of Pride of Baltimore\nII and Lady Maryland. The vessel will be constructed in\nBaltimore and transported to Newport for rigging and final\noutfitting.\n15\nFreedom's Wind Educational Model Development Funding Proposal\nD.9. AREAS OF OPERATION:\nFreedom's Wind will operate for 11 months each year. She\nwill be based in Newport, Rhode Island during the summer months,\nCharleston, South Carolina during the fall, and a Caribbean port\nduring the winter. Her cruising grounds will vary each year to\nensure maximum enjoyment for the partners.\nE. Grant Requirements:\nMarketing of Freedom's Wind will require an estimated\ninitial outlay of $150 per student ($75,000) for the purchase of\nadvertising. (The design of promotional material and the\nFreedom's Wind logo has been provided by Bashara and Associates\nof Baltimore, MD on a pro-bono basis. Initial vessel design was\npaid for by Square Sails School's board.) Grant funds are being\nsought and will be used solely for the physical marketing effort\ndirectly associated with raising the $9,600,000 in\nconstruction/operational trust funds.\nAdvertising will be carried initially in The Wall Street\nJournal, USA Today, Woodenboat magazine, and regional radio\nspots.\n16\nFreedom's Wind Educational Model Development Funding Proposal\nNotes\n1 The Rhode Island Skills Commission Report, Rhode Island's\nChoice: High Skills or Low Wages - An Invitation to Act, May 1992\nprovided the following statistics:\nOf the approximately 10,000 young Rhode Islanders\nwho will receive a high school diploma in June (1992)\nmore than 6,400 will go directly into the work force\nwith no further education. Over 1,000 others will\nenter college, but not complete a degree program\n75\npercent of our citizens\ndo not receive four year\ncollege degrees.\nNotes\n2 William Rosengren and Michael Bassis in their book The\nSocial Organization of Nautical Education Lexington, Ma. Heath\n1976, convincingly demonstrate this point in their discussions on\n\"transferability\" of training. Here they show that American\nacademies learned two decades ago that general academic studies\ncombined with specific experience not only work but are\nessential. These schools have in fact voluntarily altered their\ncurricula to ensure students receive not only the highly\nspecialized vocational/technical skills specific to their field\nbut a fully accredited four year degree comparable with most\nscientific or technical degrees.\n17\nFreedom's Wind Educational Model Development Funding Proposal\n3 The American Sail Training Association lists twenty-five\nfull time college or secondary school training ship programs\nnationally in their 1987 directory.
