Success Sailing
A Unified Team Approach Teaching Sailing to athletes with Intellectual Disabilities. The goal is to introduce sailing as a recreational activity while instilling a passion for the sport whereby the participants grow to a point where they consider themselves “sailors”. We hope someday to align our program with Special Olympics. Until such time this program will lay the groundwork towards developing sailors.
Participant Guidelines:
- Ages 14+
- Capable of swimming with a lifejacket on
- Able to verbally communicate with teammate when mentor-coach is provided.
- Students with the fitness, agility, and comfort in and around water will discover success quickly
Instructor led sessions with mentor-coaches sailing with students 1-on-1

Coaches-mentors will be provided, unless you bring your own “sailing buddy”.
Participants may bring their buddy to serve as a coach-mentor and the "Buddy" will receive free sailing instruction along with the participant.
The Buddy must commit to all sessions within the Season.
Coach-mentor Prerequisites (when bringing your own buddy):
- Capable of swimming with a lifejacket on while keeping the participant calm
- Able to effectively communicate with participant under stressful situations

The program fee includes 8-weeks of instruction. Pricing is the same whether you attend or not. Sailing is always weather permitting. The lesson is rain or shine with shore-based activities when the weather does not permit sailing. Decisions to sail or not to sail may vary with the student-sailor and the mentor-coach.
