Challenged Sailors San Diego is an entirely volunteer supported program providing sailing opportunities for kids, adults, and veterans with disabilities.
We need volunteers to help out in a variety of capacities, including:
- Companion sailors
- Boat maintenance and dock support (no experience required)
- Back office support
- Fund raising and public relations
We have a fleet of eight Martin 16 sailboats specifically designed for adaptive sailing. Our primary sailing days (when we need companion sailors and dock support) are Fridays and Saturdays from 12-3pm, but we sometimes schedule another day on request if sufficient volunteers are available.
Send an email to volunteer@challengedsailors.org if you have any questions or would like to volunteer in any capacity.

Mission Statement
Challenged Sailors San Diego provides therapeutic and recreational adaptive sailing opportunities for people with disabilities to enhance their dignity, well being, and independence.
Description
The US Census Bureau estimated that nearly one in five people in our country have a disability. Many of these people have had to learn to live with restrictions on their mobility and independence. Challenged Sailors San Diego’s adaptive sailing program is designed to minimize these restrictions for our sailors. Learning the skills to maneuver a boat throughout the waters of San Diego Bay provides a sense of confidence, autonomy, and accomplishment that can have a significant positive effect on many aspects of the sailors’ lives.
The volunteers and participants of Challenged Sailors San Diego have experienced the transformative nature of adaptive sailing personally. Some are very experienced sailors, some are beginners but all have seen a tremendous improvement in their lives through adaptive sailing.
