The 53rd Annual Conference will explore how tall ships and education under sail remain deeply relevant in today’s society and with contemporary learners.

This session by Matthew Kurkjian introduces Structured Debriefs as a practical method for transforming sail training experiences into measurable learning outcomes.  Participants will learn the S.A.I.L. Framework, a psychology-informed approach that helps crews reflect on challenges, extract transferable skills, and demonstrate value to funders and employers. Attendees will leave with a ready-to-use debrief template to enhance communication, cohesion, and leadership growth on every voyage.
