Why Sailing?
Sailing offers us a unique medium to teach more than just the practical skills of how to sail. Sailing offers peace and tranquility, along with excitement and adventure. Along the way, there are many opportunities for personal growth and team work. There are few things more liberating or empowering than being in control of a small boat skimming across the water using only the power of the wind and a few simples machines. Our hope is that junior sailors embark on a lifelong romance with sailing after we expose them to its joy.
