The Brigantines Pathfinder & Playfair were a pleasant surprise to the 2007 Parry Sound Tugfest. They came in for a crew change and stayed until Saturday.  The public was welcome aboard for a tour, the  Captains where on deck to answer any questions about the brigantine program. Both vessels are stationed in Toronto Ont. Toronto Brigantine Incorporated (TBI) has been building the character of youths aged 13 to 18 for over 43 years. A not-for-profit charitable organization, sail training programs on the Great Lakes aboard the brigantines T.S. Playfair and S.T.V. Pathfinder have taught valuable life skills for generations of youth including seamanship, self-reliance, teamwork, leadership, marine navigation and piloting, dependability, and respect.
