Pro bono sailing instruction. Cool.

How will they afford to go sailing?



I think in some cases they're just testing the waters. I know that a few of
the people who've taken the "free" classes have gone on to take the
full-blown courses. Some are kids from poor homes. Also, money really isn't
a requirement for sailing, as there are lots of crew opportunities. Boat
ownership is, of course, a different matter.
