Built in 1923, the SV Mandalay has lived many lives — from private yacht to U.S. Navy service, from conducting oceanographic research to decades as a barefoot windjammer sailing the Caribbean’s bluest waters. She’s carried pirates and presidents, honeymooners and wanderers, salty crew and lifelong friends.

Now, after more than a million nautical miles and a century of stories, she’s being brought back to life — for her next great 100 years at sea.
