But we’re not stopping here. In our quest to Save Sailing, we seek and will support other innovative ways to bring families and friends to sailing. If you know of a worthy sailing not-for-profit that would benefit from financial support, please tell us about it. If you have a story of your own, share it with us. You could be featured on our upcoming blog. Email publisher@savingsailing.com with your ideas.
