Sail training is an immensely powerful tool for social development, but requires significant financial support. We rely on the generosity and support of businesses to continue providing this unique opportunity to northern communities.
We would like to thank all of the companies that have supported us so generously donating not only funds but equipment and time. We endeavor to continue to develop the partnerships we have with our corporate sponsors and we welcome the chance to develop new partnerships also.
