Application 

    If you'd like to join as crew, please submit the application below. It is worth noting that on small recreational sailboats, participants are in close working and living proximity with no option to cease participation between ports. This questionnaire will help us assess your ability to participate on Celtic Song. For everyone’s well being please answer the following questions, provide your phone number, and provide a copy of your driver’s license (upload link below) and passport.

    ​Upon receipt and acceptance, Diane will review and reach out to set up your first lesson.
