Welcome aboard with Self Awareness In Leisure (SAIL), a program designed to bring full therapeutic benefits of sailing and team building to those with disabilities, youth at risk, businesses, families, friends, and everyone.

Our therapeutic sailing program is organized into three successive steps yet each can be utilized as a stand alone program.

Step 1 is our intro to the basics of sailing via our sailing simulator and radio controlled model sailboats and has become very popular with both youth and adults (click here to see video, select indoor sailing video). The radio controlled model sailboat segment can be performed during the winter in a indoor pool or during good weather outside.

Step 2 is our get wet and practice what you learned in step one via hands on sailing on our (or your) our small sailboat (8'-13'.

Step 3 is out sailboat cruising adventure aboard the Windwalker (also known as the Lake Cat; click here to see videos).

Throughout these programs recreational therapy and rehabilitation counseling techniques are applied.

All courses are taught at the highest level of professionalism and are facilitated by recreational therapists, rehab counselors, and US Sailing certified instructors with years of experience working in marine environments, with persons with disAbilities, youth at risk, and others (click here to see our disAbled & other sailing videos).

STEP 3 - LAKE OR OCEAN ADVENTURE SAILING

With either our LAKE or OCEAN adventure, participants will acquire the skills to sail a cruising sailboat over several days. Aboard the Windwalker, a 33’ high performance cruising catamaran, participants will learn the ins and outs of sailboat cruising, and gain abilities and memories that will be used for the rest of their lives. This trip is unlike any offered in the world and is an active hands on sailing adventure with all the excitement of a river rafting trip.

With the LAKE ADVENTURE participants will sail on beautiful Lake Coeur d'Alene, Lake Pend Oreille, or Priest Lake (all these lakes are rated among the top 10 most beautiful lakes in the continental US) with miles of shoreline, extensive bays and rivers, and abundant animal and marine life.

Camp in the bays and explore the wonders of a beautiful lake. Participants will learn to sail on inland waters which supply their own set of challenges, such as adjusting to consistent shifting winds and fluctuating thermal winds; this will increase wind awareness and how to keep flow attached to sails. Participants will gain more appreciation and understanding of sailing on inland waters, and will be better prepared to sail in areas of the world with similar conditions whether on inland or ocean waters.

With the OCEAN ADVENTURE you’ll discover the great beauty of the Twin Harbors area (Grays & Willapa Harbors). It is also delightfully common to see some of the following: seals, whales, otters, elk, pileated woodpeckers, flying squirrels, the rare Van Dyke’s salamanders, etc.

Willapa Bay is the second largest estuary on the Pacific Coast and includes more than 260 square miles of water surface. Participants will camp on or near Long Island - the Pacific Coast's largest estuarine island. This island includes a rare 274-acre remnant of old growth lowland coastal cedar forest. Many of the red cedar trees in this grove are more than 900 years old!

In 1788 Robert Gray discovered his name sake Grays Harbor aboard the Lady Washington (a replica of this ship is moored in Grays Harbor - this ship was used in the movie "Pirates of Caribbean"). Grays Harbor is home to shell Island, one of the largest harbor seal colonies on the west coast, and the largest charter fishing fleet in the Pacific Northwest.

Participants must be able to swim or be comfortable in a life jacket while in the water. A comprehensive booklet is supplied with info about the course, location info, gear needed, etc.

ATTENTION - LAKE & OCEAN ADVENTURE: Due to the weather conditions, tides, currents, wildlife migrations, and variety within these marine environments - participants will possibly see more or less than is stated here in. Also weather will dictate if we will sail full length of the lake, if we sail in one harbor or two, and on the ocean itself.

Class size is limited to 6 students (supportive staff not included)
