The purpose of the corporation is to teach youth seamanship, personal responsibility, teamwork and self-esteem, while building skills in leadership and citizenship, to inspire all generations to be responsible stewards of Lake Superior (and all lakes, rivers and oceans) and to promote awareness, appreciation and preservation of Lake Superior's marine communities and maritime heritage.

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
Thanks to the generosity of our donors and revenue from charters, we were able to take area youth and community members sailing on Lake Superior for 68 days without having to charge a fee for any kid who came sailing with us in 2016. The Sailing Vessel Abbey Road was on the water 97 days (vs 83 in 2015), with 798 guests (vs 762) and sailed 1584 nautical miles (vs 1418). Most of the trips were 3 to 4-hour half day or evening sails, and many of the guests (especially the Sea Scouts) were repeat sailors. Of the trips: 29 days were charter with 7.1 guests/day on board. * 5 days were with Bayfield Middle School and High School students, 10.8 guests/day. * 11 days were with Northland College students, 9.6 guests/day * 0 days were other youth groups: 4H, Girl Scouts, Washburn Agri-Ed., 0 guests/day * 23 Community Sailing Days, 9.2 guests/day, and * 29 days were with the area Sea Scouts, 9.7 scouts & guests/day.$0$27,827
