Are you a City Sailor?
Founded in 2018, SailMaine’s City Sailors program is designed to reach underserved youth in the Greater Portland area. Access to the water is crucial for personal growth and skill development. SailMaine provides free sailing lessons and STEM-based learning to kids who need it most through community partners. Gear, food, and transportation are available at no cost for all who need it.
