Restoration Partners
Help bring Lady Hawk back to work
Company sponsorship for the ship’s restoration — from winter cover to Set Sail. No cart. Just a conversation.
The mission
Why partner with Lady Hawk
We're rebuilding a ship to sail to Mexico, pick up tequila, barrel-age it at sea, and sell it.
A Restoration Partner helps bring Lady Hawk back to work — and gets something tangible to show staff and customers: a working voyage, a bronze plaque aboard the ship, and a story people can follow from Silva Bay to the bottle.
Founders Circle is the people side. This page is the company side.
