Description
Sail To Prevail is a nonprofit that improves the lives of more than 1,000 children and adults, each summer, through sailing in our fleet of specially adapted, 20-foot sailboats.
Our programs encourage individuals with disabilities to be active participants in the sailing experience. They steer the boat, grind the winches, and trim the sails. The measurable outcomes demonstrate increased self-confidence and leadership skills.
MISSION: OVERCOMING ADVERSITY THROUGH THERAPEUTIC SAILING
History
Newport, RI Founded in 1982, Sail To Prevail was the first sailing program for individuals with disabilities in the United States.
Cambridge, MA Since 2013, Sail To Prevail has partnered with the Harvard Varsity Sailing Team to provide sailing experiences on the Charles River.
Our boats accommodate up to five participants and one instructor, making the program inclusive. We encourage family, friends, medical assistants, and doctors to come aboard to experience the joy of sailing. This mission and the success in this community is increased over the years through “collaboration.” If you feel that your organization would like to join our collaborating partners or dozens of aligned agencies, please contact us at [email protected]
Sail To Prevail is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Since its inception, tens of thousands of children and adults have improved their lives through therapeutic sailing that focuses on mind, body and spirit. Scholarships are available through the generosity of Sail To Prevail’s contributors, and we are grateful to everyone who supports our mission. Please consider joining our efforts to help our participants PREVAIL!
