Have you ever thought about sailing, using the wind to power yourself across the water?  

Now is your chance to give it a try!

Adaptive Adventures Sailing Program is creating new opportunities in Sandusky, Ohio for individuals with physical disabilities and their families.  The program focus is providing accessible sailing, skill development, instruction, modified racing and maritime education that will assist participants in achieving freedom through the mobility of sailing. Participants are encouraged to learn sail on a regular basis on either a recreational or competitive level, with the goal of encouraging several persons with disabilities become“sailing” qualified and act as role models for the program in the future.  Our program will be based out of Sandusky Bay.
