Katannah Sailing honors the memory of Steve Haesche, lifelong sailor and supporter of the sailing community, by enabling access to quality youth sailing experiences. In 2020 we raised almost $50k to kickstart our efforts.
Through the distribution of sailing camp scholarships and grants to local, community-based sailing organizations we will foster an understanding and love of the sport within a broader audience of children than currently have access.
An enthusiastic group of charter donors has gotten us off the ground. Join us! As a result of their generosity, our 2020 summer program sent local children to Pleon and to pandemic-friendly sailing charters with Sail Satori, and we awarded a $5,000 grant to Sail Salem in support of their efforts to expand access to youth sailing.
