Our ships motto is "Navigo Ergo Sum"
("I Sail therefore I am")

The wind breaths life into a sailing vessel. It not only animates her, moving her through time and space, but also gives vent to the unique personality cast into her hull and spars and rigging. She will display her likes and dislikes, talents and foibles as she interacts with the forces of nature. To her crew and skipper she lives as certainly and as deeply as flesh and blood. Rising to the challange of the sea, along with her sailors, Zingara is at times a taskmaster, other times a friend, or teacher, playmate, protector, or critic. Navigo Ergo Sum, not only applies to the feeling of hightened existence felt by her crew and skipper at sea, it describes the metamorphosis that occurs when her sails are raised.
