No Salt Sailing will create a learning and empowering environment for veterans and transitioning veterans (and their families) who face mental health issues. Our organization will offer veterans the opportunity to sail with experienced Skipper/Captains, learn to sail, explore the Great Lakes, and develop maritime skills. Classes will challenge participants – both physically and mentally, recreating a sense of community and pride in their accomplishments while building transferable skills such as woodworking, rigging, and electrical systems.
No Salt Sailing will enable veterans with service-connected conditions enrich their lives. In the process they will become Sail-able.
