The SSV Oliver Hazard Perry, which is the largest civilian sailing school vessel in the US, recently completed all requirements to qualify with the USCG as a Sailing School Vessel.  She is now underway with the first class of trainees on an 11 night adventure around New England.  The three-masted, full rigged ship carries 14,000 sq. ft. of sail and seven miles of running rigging.

WheelHouse Technologies was chosen by OHPRI over a year ago as a tool to ensure the safety, reliability, and longevity of the vessel and we have enjoyed working with them on this project and congratulate them on this recent milestone.
