Challenged America will host the sailing venue for the National Veterans Summer Sports Clinic for the fourth time.
Challenged America will welcome over 100 disabled and injured veterans for a week of sailing and competing on San Diego Bay
The disabled veterans will learn to sail and compete in a week of regattas on our Martin 16 boats, designed for the disabled, Harbor 20 boats on loan and will have the opportunity to sail on the America’s Cup boat Stars and Stripes (USA11)
Hosting an event like this is quite a challenge (no pun intended) and volunteers are needed to help us at the welcome booth, on the docks and as companion sailors
Several local businesses like Sail USA11 generously participate in the event supplying Stars and Stripes and a crew for the week long event, others loan their boats, volunteer their boat for families and caregivers and others, like Hipp Marine, supplying boats for race committee and safety.
To volunteer, please call our office at 619-523-9318 or RSVP on our Facebook volunteer group
It is great is the disabled veterans have activities like these so that they can have outlet and fun day.
