Just booked a sailing trip on the Malabar X in Salem! Any tips?

I just bought a gift experience for a sailing trip on the Malabar X in Salem, and I'm so excited! The history of that schooner is incredible, and I can’t wait to be on the water. Does anyone have tips for what to wear or bring on board? I heard it's lovely out there, but I want to be prepared for anything!

Anyone else sailed on the Malabar X? Share your experience!

I went on the Malabar X a few weeks ago, and it was amazing! The crew was super friendly and the views of Salem Harbor are breathtaking. I loved getting to help with the sails too. If you have a chance to go, don’t hesitate! I’d recommend taking a camera for sure.
