Adaptive Sailing
Adaptive Sailing
We have partnered with Collier County Parks and Recreation since 2003 to teach people with disabilities to sail to the best of their ability.
This program takes place on the lake at Sugden Regional Park in Naples from October through April on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM.
Participants of the Adaptive Sailing Program are invited annually to participate in the Murdo Smith Adaptive Sailing Regatta.
