Original Toronto Star caption: Tips from the master; Kids from Harbourfront's Independence Afloat and Pier 4 sailing schools could have taken some tips from the brigantine Pathfinder in Toronto Harbor yesterday afternoon; but it was just sailing by and was probably too big anyway. The Pathfinder and its sister ship; Playfair; spend the summer on Lake Ontario teaching teenagers their sea ropes. They're also available for weekend charter.
