National Veterans Summer Sports Clinic – Sailing With Challenged America
The National Veterans Summer Sports Clinic (NVSSC), taking place in San Diego September 18-21, promotes rehabilitation of body and spirit by teaching summer sporting activities to Veterans with significant physical or psychological impairments. Veterans had the opportunity to sail the San Diego Bay and enjoy a friendly race against one another.
For the 5th year, Challenged America will host the sailing event. Over 100 Challenged America volunteers will spend a week helping and coaching disabled veterans on the water and on the docks. Challenged America’s Martin 16 boats and equipment are designed and built specifically to allow individuals with all levels of disability drive and handle the boat by themselves under the supervision of a specially trained companion sailor.
2012 ‘Dash” to Chula Vista: Day 2
A cool and overcast day with light wind awaited competitors and their companion sailors for the leg back to Harbor Island.
That was not enough to temper the enthusiasm and the second part of the “Dash” to Chula Vista was another success, prompting the Chula Vista Yacht Club race committee to announce that 2012 was officially the first annual “Dash”
Another big thank you to the Chula Vista Yacht Club, the California Yacht Marina and all the volunteers who made the event possible.
And let’s not forget the Venetian Point Loma who supplied delicious pizzas for the after race party
