SAILING EXPERIENCES FOR FIRST RESPONDERS & HEALTHCARE WORKERS
Sailing lifts your spirits
SAILING EXPERIENCES FOR FIRST RESPONDERS & HEALTHCARE WORKERS
our purpose
is to proactively support the wellbeing of our First Responders and Frontline Healthcare workers through the provision of no-cost and ongoing sailing experiences designed to thank them for their service in protecting us all and offer a pathway to defend themselves against the cumulative stressors of their work lives.
Let's go sailing!
COME SAILING WITH US AND HAVE YOUR SPIRITS LIFTED!
You are invited to be a Guest on one of the beautiful yachts in our fleet.
We can have up to 100 First Responders & Frontline Healthcare workers experience sailing and we know that for many of you, it will be your very first sail.
Amazing boat owners are volunteering their time and their yachts to support you.
Experienced sailors will be on board to make sure the boats are safe at all times and to share their sailing knowledge with you.
Shore crew will be assisting with check ins, managing groups, making everyone feel welcome and sometimes jumping on board to assist our crew as the fleet leaves the dock.
After 2 hours on the water, we will all head back to the club for a bbq and to connect with like minded amazing members of our community.
