“Chesapeake region accessible boating is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1991 to bring the thrill, freedom, and therapeutic value of sailing to people with disabilities, wounded warriors, and children from at-risk communities on chesapeake bay.”

“The recovering warrior sailing regatta were held in cooperation with the usna sailing team and the national sailing hall of fame in annapolis. Warriors and family members from walter reed national military medical center, the washington va, and the region were hosted for a day of racing, a complimentary lunch, and awards. Crab was pleased to host two regattas for 25 warriors and their family members, including service dogs. The don backe memorial regatta hosted by the annapolis yacht club provided six disabled skippers and their disabled crew with the opportunity to race in crab's sailboats against each other. The boats also had ayc tacticians aboard who provided expert support in race tactics and strategy. The 2018 crab cup (formerly the boatyard bar & grill regatta) was one of the most successful in fundraising history. The race featured nearly 80 boats and 300 skippers and crew. The fundraising associated with the event raised record proceeds. Crab hosted 4 kids sailing camps in conjunction with the annapolis city police and the anne arundel county police for children from at-risk communities. Approximately 88 children learned the basics of sailing all the way up to racing in the two days of instruction. All meals were provided as well as tee-shirts and graduation certificates. The crab beneteau first 22a (a for adaptive) fleet had additional modifications made to the boats to make they even better of our special guests. Crab participated in the annapolis spring boat show and the us sailboat show in the fall. Both events provide excellent name recognition and awareness for crab before tens of thousands of sailors. Many future volunteer skippers learn about crab at the boat show; and, a number of people who learn about crab chose to donate their boats in support of crab's sailing operations. In 2018, over 95 volunteer skippers, crew, and support staff donated more than 2,500 hours of their time in support of crab's programs and services.”
