Adaptive Sailing
Challenged Sailors San Diego | Adaptive Sailing |
 |
| Challenged Sailors San Diego provides therapeutic and recreational adaptive sailing opportunities for people with disabilities to enhance their dignity, well-being, and independence. The US Census Bureau estimated that nearly one in five people in our country have a disability. Many of these people have had to learn to live with restrictions on their mobility and independence. Challenged Sailors San Diego's adaptive sailing program is designed to minimize these restrictions for their sailors. Learning the skills to maneuver a boat throughout the waters of San Diego Bay provides a sense of confidence, autonomy, and accomplishment that can have a significant positive effect on many aspects of the sailors' lives. The volunteers and participants of Challenged Sailors San Diego have experienced the transformative nature of adaptive sailing personally. Some are very experienced sailors, some are beginners but all have seen a tremendous improvement in their lives through adaptive sailing. Capt. Jack Sparrow - in Pirates of the Caribbean - said, No, a sailboat is not just a mast or sails or a rudder; a sailboat is freedom. For those with a disability that significantly limits their mobility on land, that statement is a reality. |
