We strive to make all aspects of sailing accessible. Learn more about what we do.
Membership is open to people with disabilities and their families, friends, caregivers and assistants – including you!
Dues are $36/year for individuals or $75 for families, and cover all the sailing you can stand. Join now!
Volunteers assist sailors, provide safety using a chase boat, teach basic sailing skills and help assemble and disassemble boats. All you really need is enthusiasm for helping others and being out on the water. Learn more about volunteering.
We are a 501(c)(3) organization and rely on tax-deductible donations, corporate sponsors, and grants to run our programs. Donate securely online through PayPal, or learn about other ways to help.
