Adaptive Sailing Program Grows
On Saturday June 12th, the Erie Adaptive Sailing Experience, EASE, launched its brand new Access Dinghy. The launching coincided with the Erie Safe Boating Day at Wolverine Marina in Erie's West Canal Basin, and was the training and recruitment day for EASE volunteers.
Getting ready for the first sail on the new Access Dinghy are EASE volunteers Bren and Liz
The EASE program is staffed by an exceptional group of 15 volunteers who gave 1200 hours of their time last sailing season. With the addition of another Access Dinghy the EASE program will be able to reach almost twice the number of participants. EASE is the only adaptive sailing program in Pennsylvania.
EASE Volunteers sail the new Access Dinghy.
The new boat, named ZOYA, was purchased in part by grants from the CVS Caremark Community Foundation, PNC Bank, and Erie Insurance.
