Clover's Restoration Milestone

Maiden Cast-Off — July 4, 2026

On the nation's 250th birthday, VetsBoats will mark its own milestone — the maiden cast-off of Clover, the organization's 68-foot gaff-rigged cutter and the heart of twelve years of restoration work, volunteer dedication, and veteran healing. This event package provides ready-to-use content for the invitation, program, ceremony script, social media, and remarks — all tailored to honor the veterans and supporters who made this day possible.

For twelve years, a small crew of veterans, volunteers, and believers turned a dream into a vessel. On America's 250th birthday, Clover — VetsBoats' 68-foot gaff-rigged cutter — casts off for the first time, carrying the veterans and supporters who made her ready.

You are invited to be part of this historic moment.

Join us for a christening ceremony, remarks, and Clover's inaugural sail on San Francisco Bay. Food, drinks, and good company are included. Red, white, and blue encouraged.
