N.P.O Sailing the Life
We are the largest and friendliest organization in town!
Sailing Our goal is to encourage all people with disabilities from our city and surrounding counties, to try the unique sport of sailing and enjoy everything that our great blue sea has to offer.
Our objective is not to create super-champions, but rather give a chance to those people that nature or luck was not on their side, to try things that until now ware difficult or impossible to do. We believe that improving everyone's or their family’s psychology will give them a better perspective in life and a more optimistic and happy future.
