Who We Are:

Sailing Alternatives, Inc. is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization dedicated to using sailing as therapy, recreation, and competition for both able-bodied and disabled people. SAlt brings these two often divergent communities together in a sport that will continually encourage cooperation, community, and interaction. SAlt uses the income from able-bodied lessons to off-set the cost of teaching disabled sailing lessons. Whatever their disabilities, people who have completed our classes are able to sail and compete with anyone.

(SAlt) Sailing Alternatives provides individual and small-group instruction to budding sailors. SAlt caters to those wishing a more personal touch in their instruction, and specializes in meeting the unique needs of new sailors.

Courses and outings are held at the locations and times shown on the Event Schedule as well as individually scheduled on a case-by-case basis. Instructors are experienced, patient and cater to different physical and mental needs of people learning to sail.

Our Purpose:

SAlt teaches the art and science of sailing. SAlt creates sailors who are prepared to enjoy sailing from recreation to competition levels. Our graduates can move on to take the Instructor Certification course from U. S. Sailing. Out hope is that these instructors will return and help teach the next generation of SAlt sailors.
