Armed with talent\, determination\, little money and plans he purchased from the Smithsonian Institution\, he laid the keel in his Orange County yard on May 2\, 1970. Thirteen years later\, this fast privateer was launched and continues to sail the ocean. Everywhere you look on board is the craftsmanship and pride of early America. \nFormerly the Pilgrim of Newport\, the re-named Spirit of Dana Point is an excellent teaching platform where students directly experience life at sea as it has been for hundreds of years.  The 118-ft. schooner is used for living history and at-sea maritime programs throughout the year. \nThe Spirit of Dana Point is also available for public and private charters\, coastal sails\, corporate team building\, and filming opportunities. \nFor private charters\, events or wedding onboard the Spirit of Dana Point please e-mail: events@oceaninstitute.org \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Click here for our Refund and Ticket Transfer Policy.

She broke new ground as a woman from the day she first paddled into the surf in front of her parents’ home in Capistrano Beach. Now 75\, Hoffman is sharing memories of her adventures as a woman in a predominantly male sport.   \nThroughout her career she has won many championships. The City of Dana Point recently unveiled a bronze statue of her likeness. It is displayed in Waterman’s Plaza among the likenesses of other surfing legends Hobie Alter\, Phil Edwards and Bruce Brown. And again\, Hoffman is the first woman to be so honored. In fact\, Hoffman’s statue is believed to be the first life-sized statue of a female surfer in the country.  \nAmong her accolades:   \n\nShe was the first American to win the International Surfing Association’s World Championships in 1965 and 1966. \nShe won the United States Surfing Championships in 1965\, 1966\, 1967 and 1971. \n\n\nShe won the Makaha International in 1964 and 1966\, and the Laguna Masters in 1965 and 1967. \nShe was the first woman documented to surf the Pipeline. \nIn 1994 Hoffman became the only female in the first class inducted into the Surfing Walk of Fame in Huntington Beach.  \n\n“As a highly accomplished woman in a male-dominated sport\, Joyce is a positive role model for young women everywhere\,” says Ocean Institute CEO and President Wendy Marshall. “She personifies the characteristics and enthusiasm the Ocean Institute strives to encourage among kids who come here to learn about the ocean. It’s an honor to have her with us as a Distinguished Speaker.”  URL:https://stage.oceaninstitute.org/event/distinguished-speaker-series-joyce-hoffman/ CATEGORIES:Distinguished Speaker Series END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20230401T140000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20230401T170000 DTSTAMP:20260622T091633 CREATED:20230317T185159Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231208T230813Z UID:34593-1680357600-1680368400@stage.oceaninstitute.org SUMMARY:Sail on Spirit of Dana Point DESCRIPTION:Set sail aboard the schooner Spirit of Dana Point and experience California from the perspective of an early tallship explorer.
