Since early 1995, Sailing Alternatives has been working to provide access to the water for people with
special needs.
Bayfront Medical Center, located a short six blocks from the St.
Petersburg Sailing Center, provides therapists that assist people in
adapting to this exciting sport. Bayfront has been instrumental in
providing a method for people with disabilities to access the water, and
participate in a four-week, trial program to see if sailing is something
they would like to pursue. |

sailing skills be a US Sailing certified instructor. After completing
the SAlt program, sailors may continue to

outing last for approximately two hours, based on each person's
endurance. We have some great programs coming up with Bayfront
Medical Center - here's an overview... |
