Spaces are filling up quickly for our upcoming Pacific Odyssey to the
South Seas and Far East, but some berths remain on Leg 6 (Japan to
Hawaii) and Leg 7 (Hawaii to Victoria)! Each of these trips will give
trainees a taste of deep sea sailing across the Pacific, and will also
explore the Hawaiian Islands! Spread the word to any young people aged
17-27 that this is a voyage not to miss. Bursaries are available to
those with financial need.
Sailing Open to All, Regardless of Income
Our goal is to ensure that we leave no one on the dock for financial
reasons. For our 2007 sailing season, we have budgeted $35000.00 in
financial assistance funding (up from $6000.00 in 2006). We are
partnering with other organizations that work with low-income families
to select young people who will receive full funding to participate in
our Summer 2007 sailing program. We will also fund partial bursaries
for our Summer and Offshore sailing programs (Offshore Bursaries of up
to $3000 each are available). In addition to these S.A.L.T.S.
bursaries, we are pleased that seven other community groups will fund
their own bursaries for our 2007 season. Adults can sail too! Day
sails are open to all members of our Society with no age restriction,
and a one-year membership is only $35 for an individual or $70 per
family!
