Russell Harris purchased Tod Thompson's shares in 1993. The ship was then marketed and operated by Fullers Bay of Islands, providing day sails in the Bay of Islands. In the winter, the ship provided a limited quantity of sail training voyages for young people deemed to be “at risk”. In 1995, the vessel participated in the Nuclear Free Pacific protest flotilla. In 2002, the ship was involved in the Sail Korea 2002 international regatta, and participated in the American Sail Training Association (ASTA) West Coast Tall Ships Challenge. In 2003, Fullers decided to build their own sailing vessel and terminated the arrangement with "R. Tucker Thompson", which continued to operate directly. A second West Coast Challenge was participated in during 2005.
