1. I ntroduction
Children and adolescents afflicted with childhood diseases face unique challenges that may lead to social isolation, low self-esteem, and difficulty integrating into routine activities of life. In some cases, this social isolation and low self-esteem can further aggravate the illness and adversely impact their physical health. Such children need support to overcome these barriers and to develop interpersonal and life skills. For the past ten years, the Facteurs Communs Association has carried out maritime activities to foster the development of self-esteem for children afflicted with disease. Learning to sail provides not only opportunities to discover the mysteries of the ocean, it creates a milieu for sharing and peer-support. Through their engagement in teambuilding and other constructive activities, these children regain their self-efficacy and rediscover their path in life. Beginning in summer 2012, the Association will launch a three-year program, Sailing Towards Achievement, Recovery, and Success (STARS) for children afflicted with disease. STARS will build upon the same concept of “learn to sail, learn to live” that the Association has implemented since 2002. STARS will be carried out on Magic Twelve, a yacht fully restored by a team of young hemophiliacs as part of the Association’s maritime programs for children afflicted with disease. The Facteurs Communs Association relies on the support of donors to carry out its work with children and adolescents afflicted with disease. The Association is committed to ensuring the maximum benefits of the STARS program and to the children and families that it serves. If you share our passion for sailing and our commitment to helping sick children rediscover their paths in life, contact us to learn more about the Association’s work or to make a donation.

2. The Concept 2.1. Learn to sail, learn to live Since 2002, the Facteurs Communs Association has developed and implemented the concept of “learn to sail, learn to live” for adolescents and children affected by haemophilia. This concept was developed to strengthen the capacity of children afflicted with illness to cope with life. In particular, it aims at building the self-efficacy of these children in four key areas: 1) self-awareness, 2) self-confidence, 3) sense of belonging, and 4) self-esteem. Through this experience, these children are empowered to find their own place in society and to overcome the prejudices that children afflicted with illness often face. 2.2. Approach: Confronting nature, others, and oneself Sailing as part of a team is about confronting nature, others, and oneself. It builds solidarity among team members and helps children to take responsibility for their actions as part of the team as well as in their own lives. Confronting nature. The ocean—vast, infinite, and untamed, represents the essence and power of nature. To experience the ocean is to discover or perhaps to rediscover, the place of man in the world. It is about understanding the fragility of humanity in the context of the immensity and force of nature, but it also about understanding the capacity of humanity to use and benefit from these powerful forces. The awareness of the capacity of man to overcome these powerful forces is key to understanding the power and responsibility that individuals have for their own lives. Confronting others. Sailing with others in a confined space instils an understanding of one’s own strengths and weaknesses, as well as an appreciation for the benefit and power of teamwork. Where we are weak, others are strong; where others are weak, we are strong. Learning to sail and living together fosters bonding, trust, and solidarity among team members. Above all, it teaches individuals to respect themselves and others.
«For these children and adolescents, sailing can help improve both their psychological and physical development. It demands hard work and continuous effort that results in a psychological awakening in a safe and supportive environment.» Jean-Marie Finot, Magic Twelve Naval Architect, excerpt from The Rush to the Sea, Why We Sail, 2005
Confronting oneself. Facing an endless horizon on a boat, every action counts towards the accomplishment of the goal counts. In this context, sailing teaches children to be accountable for their own actions as well as to understand the contributions that their actions have towards the achievement of a common goal. It allows these children to understand and realize their strengths and the potential that they each have to achieve their individual life goals.

3. Project
STARS on Magic Twelve The proposed implemented out by the Facteurs Communs Association carries the name of Magic Twelve, a sailboat that was restored by a group of volunteers, including haemophiliac children. The proposed project, STARS on Magic Twelve, builds upon the work undertaken by the association since 2008 on the sailboat. The project aims at developing the self-esteem of children afflicted with illness in four areas (self-awareness, self confidence, sense of belonging, and self-esteem) through engagement in team building activities and exploration of the open sea.
3.1. Objectives The overall goal of the STARS on Magic Twelve project is to help children afflicted with illness develop the life skills necessary to cope with the challenges facing them; ultimately this will help them find their place in life. The activities in which the children will be engaged are designed not only to teach them about sailing, but also to teach them important life skills and instil in them a sense of self-efficacy. The educational learning begins before departure and continues progressively until the boat is docked again. This structured learning program, combined with appropriate medical follow up and evaluation, will provide these children with the skills they need to re-engage with society. Specifically, the project will help children afflicted with illness in the following three areas: 1. Increase their self-efficacy; 2. Establish and maintain relationships; and 3. Increase adherence to medical treatment and follow-up. Objective 1: To increase the self-efficacy of children afflicted with illness, goal oriented activities structured around sailing will be implemented during the voyage. The successful completion of these activities will provide these children with a sense of accomplishment and build their sense of confidence. As they reach more and more milestones, they will gradually develop a greater sense of self-efficacy and believe in their own abilities to succeed in sailing as well as in other aspects of life. Objective 2: As they often live in social isolation—due to the demands of medical treatment or due to the stigma of illness, many of these children lack the necessary social skills to engage with peers and other members of society. As such, they lack the social support—beyond their families, to cope with the many life challenges that confronted them on a daily basis. Through their engagement in numerous team-building activities, and through the sharing of experiences and discoveries with peers, these children will develop social skills and values such as communication, respect, and trust. Additionally, the team-building exercises will help children explore their own strengths and weaknesses; through this process they will realize the benefits of teamwork and the potential that exists when individuals learn to lean on and trust one another. Through these experiences, children will learn to share, create bonds with others, and very importantly, develop a social network that they can lean on for support. -5-
Objective 3: Managing the treatment demands of serious illnesses creates a heavy burden for these children. For some, adhering to rigorous treatment protocols represents a major challenge. To help overcome these challenges, a team of medical professionals will provide on-going medical follow-up for these children as well as provide them with support to cope with the demands of treatment. Through the follow-up, the team will assess the progress of these children from both psychological and physiological perspectives.
3.2. Specific Activities In order to prepare for the voyage, children chosen to participate in the STARS program will be provided with instruction and training on various themes related to the ocean, sailing, safety, and solidarity. An instructional guide and workbook will be developed and made accessible through in a web-based format for this purpose. All children will be required to complete the workbook prior to joining the voyage. Once they have completed the instructional and training component, the children will have an opportunity to apply their newly acquired knowledge in one of the sailing programs (see below) offered, ranging from one-day discovery trips to transatlantic cruises. The choice of sailing program will depend on the condition and level of sailing experience of the children. Each voyage will involve group activities that will focus on team building. Upon completion of the sailing voyage, participants will be required to provide feedback on the experience and identify key lessons learned. The following describes the various sailing voyages that will be offered for children and their families. The following sailing programs are proposed for the STARS on Magic Twelve project: 1) discovery days, 2) skills building voyages, 3) transatlantic voyages and 4) competitive cruises. Over a course of three years, participants will have the opportunity to work progressively through the program levels, beginning with discovery days, then on the intensive training program, transatlantic voyages, and finally to the competitive cruises (regatta). In addition to the learning programs offered, the project will also provide special opportunities for families to sail together on week-long family cruises. The purpose of these trips is to facilitate bonding among the family as well as to offer these families some reprive from the demands of their daily lives. Trained personnel will supervise and oversee the activities conducted on the voyages; the number and category of supervisory personnel will depend on the duration of the trip, the number of participants, and the health condition of the participants. For example, the discovery day’s voyages may involve a crew of 3-4 adults, while the transatlantic cruises will require a full crew including a skipper as well as medical personnel. Regardless of the sailing program, the first priority for the project will be to ensure the safety of the participants and crew. Details of the each program are presented below.

The project will roll out its activities progressively over the three-year project period so that the skills of the children are developed incrementally. During the first half of year 1 (2012), the project will focus on short expeditions (discovery days) between the Camargue and St. Tropez as well as excursions to Tunisia, Sardinia, Sicily, and Malta. During the second half of the first year, the project will initiate the skills building voyage for those participants in the discovery days who wish to continue and who are eligible to advance to the next program level. In 2013, the project will continue with the short excursions (discovery days), skills building voyages (to Algeria, Morroco, Spain, and Baleares) and initiate its first transatlantic voyage to the Caribean and Bahama Islands for those who have completed both discovery days and skills building voyages. The preparation for the translatic voyage will commence in the fall of 2013 and trip planned for the winter of 2013-2014. The vessel will reach Europe first in Portugal, and then continue on to Gibraltar before returning to the port in Marseille in the summer of 2014. Figure 1 shows the proposed timeline and activities for the project period. Figure 1: Timeline of the implementation of sailing voyages by type
3.3. Selection and number of Participants Participating children and adolescents will be classified according to their level of enagement with the project. Although it is desirable that the participants pass through all program levels as they have been designed to progressively develop skills, it may not be feasible given the health conditions of some children. Those who are only able to participate in the discovery days will be classified as discoverers; those who proceed with the skills building voyages will be classified as voyagers, and finally, those who continue on with the transatlantic crossings and competitions will be classified as adventurers. In order to obtain the status of an adventurer, participants will have to complete all three program levels. Participants of the voyager and adventurer levels will be required to complete the didactic training as well as a medical exam prior to engaging in the expedition. Once on board, all participants will receive basic training on sailing, emergencies, and first aid. The project expects to receive 480 participants in the three categories over the next 3 years. The table below shows the distribution of the participants by category and year. As indicated, the majority of the participants will fall into the cateogory of discoverer. However, by the end of the project period, 15 participants are expected to have reached the status of adventurer. Should additional resources become available, the association will be able to increase the number of children who can participate in the program.

Adventurer 5 10 15 The project will work with physicians and health centers in the region to identify eligible participants. Eligible children will be referred to the project by their primary care providers. Following the nomination, a Medical Committee verify the medical eligibility of the children to participate in one of the sailing voyages. Due to the physical demands of sailing, participants will need to have medical clearance prior to joining the voyages. Unfortunately, at this time, it is not possible for the project to accommodate those children whose illnesses limit their physical mobility. The Medical Committee will be responsible for ensuring that participants meet the eligibility criteria, which include physical capacity and mobililty, mental/emotional well-being, and motivation. In the event of a medical emergency during sailing trip, crew will consult with designated providers who will be ready to provide telemedicine consulations. Additionally, for each destination, the project will identify medical facilities within a 4-hour travel time where participants can be taken to for care in the event of an emergency. As previously indicated, for the sailing voyages longer than one day, at least one of the crew will be a registered nurse; the sail boat will be equipped with a stock of medications and supplies.
3.4. Evaluation The impact of the STARS on Magic Twelve project will be measured through follow up surveys implemented by the Medical Committee. The surveys will monitor the improvemetnts in self-efficacy of the participants in relation to the development of social skills, coping abilities, as well as adherence to treatment regimens. Depending on the level of participant (discoverer, voyager, adventurer), follow up will occur at 3, 6, and 12 months following an initial baseline assessment, which will be conducted at the completion of the sailing voyage. The surveys will be self-administered through online survey programs such as surveymonkey.com, which will enable participants to complete and submit the survey online. In addition to the formal surveys, participants will be required to keep a weekly on-line journal to document the challenges that they encounter and how they cope with those challenges. These journals will be shared with the project on a monthly basis. This combined approach will enable the project to capture qualitative insights on how the sailing program has contributed to the personal development of these children. The figure below illustrates the evaluation component of the project. Figure 2: Clinical and psychological assessments (self-administered surveys)

5. About Magic Twelve
Magic Twelve is a 1987 First Class 12 prototype that has been renovated and adapted to accommodate the medical needs of STARS participants. Depending on the nature and duration of the cruise, the boat can accommodate between 6-10 individuals. The boat is equipped with 2 triple cabins, 1 double cabin, two bunkers, as well as a kitchen and full bath. The boat has been updated to ensure the highest degree of safety for passengers, including a simplified deck, updated riggings, and new sails. These improvements will assure 10 years of expeditions and cruises for the STARS program. The restoration of Magic Twelve was carried out in compliance with ISO standards and in accordance with Division 240 guidelines, including annual inspections through certified agencies. Magic Twelve is one of the first sailboats to meet these standards as well as those established by the International Sailing Association Federation (ISAF) category 1, which pertain to transatlantic cruises. In addition to the adherence to the strictest safety standards, the restoration of the Magic Twelve was also carried out with respect for the environment. The improvements in the boat have been planned to ensure longer use of materials as well as to minimize energy consumption. To meet the medical needs of participants, the boat is equipped with satellite communication technologies and location devices. This will enable the crew to access emergency medical support via telemedicine as well as to locate the nearest medical facility. The boat has also been adapted to store medical supplies and pharmaceuticals that participants will need.
