Free Sailing Lessons for Veterans
Through an Olympic Opportunity Fund (OOF) Grant, BAADS is offering to teach 12 veterans to sail using US Sailing curriculum, the idea being that veterans can then go on to sail in Paralympic competitions. Join us on our next “Intro” day, Sunday, May 6, 10am-2pm. The actual sailing lessons are scheduled for Tuesdays and Thursdays from May 15 to June 5. The intro day is meant to be an open house where veterans and their families and/or support crew can come meet us, see our boats and ask questions. Our ideal candidates are veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan who have physical disabilities, but we would not exclude folks who had other forms of disabilities.
