Sail to Prevail Inc

Our national disabled sailing program teaches children and adults with disabilities to overcome adversity through therapeutic sailing. Participants include individuals with most any disability - such as Autism, paralysis, and intellectual disabilities - and when appropriate, family members and caregivers are encouraged to participate. Wounded u.s. Military personnel also take part through dedicated programs. The pediatric cancer program includes the children's resident doctors and parents. Overall, more than 1000 participants annually learn sailing skills in a fleet of specially adapted sailboats. Sail to Prevail is increasingly promoting therapeutic sailing by sharing the program's more than two decades of successful concepts, methodologies and experiences with other organizations and individuals who might have a lasting, positive effect. The goal is to inform and educate people that therapeutic sailing can have a meaningful difference in the lives of people with disabilities.
