Sailing has been found to help strengthen math and science abilities and helps kids perform better in school. But the intangible benefits of our programs—team building, problem solving, and building self-esteem—may be among the most valuable lessons that our programs offer toward social, behavioral, and academic success. It is our vision to make sailing and boating opportunities available to any boy or girl in the Mississippi Gulf Coast area that has the desire to participate, regardless of financial status, race, ethnicity, or other limiting socioeconomic factors.
