This is just one more opportunity to reuse a sail keeping them out of a land fill. The Sails Save Lives Program was developed to meet the needs of those in need of shelter.  Our Partners place used sails into the hands of those families in the most dire need after disaster. For the first time ever, your sail can save a life.  


WHY:  We understand there are not enough sails to meet the demand of those in need of shelter.  But for those that receive sails instead of a blue tarp, it is a game changer.  It is not uncommon for the vulnerable communities to have temporary covers over their homes for years after the disastrous event.  Our partners focus on getting the sails into the communities that are most likely to need them for the long haul.  Sails are significantly stronger, they last longer than the traditional blue tarps. Additionally, blue tarps are usually only used once then they are discarded into the landfill. Your sails deserve a second life, why not save a life?


Regattas, Teams, and Manufacturers can donate their used sails to be repurposed as shelters for disaster relief programs. CONTACT US (below) TO FIND OUT WHERE TO DROP YOUR SAILS


Please take the time to review our Two Tiers of Participation designed to encourage participation for everyone.  This means that your Boat,  Crew, Team.... whatever, can participate with or without donating to our efforts to collect and deliver re-purposed sails.   Contact the Ministry of Sailing to begin you application for a 24 month Seal.
