I'm Captain William, an Army veteran and founder of No Salt Sailing. Aboard S/V Inspiration, sailing Lake Michigan out of Waukegan Harbor, our veterans don't ride along as passengers. They learn real crew work: trimming sails, taking the helm, handling lines, reading the weather, and standing watch.This July we put that training to the test. We raced the 333-mile Chicago to Mackinac with veterans standing watch the whole way, day and night, shoulder to shoulder as a crew.Your support funds our 2027 season on the lake and our return to the Race to Mackinac in 2027, covering race-week expenses and the crew training that gets every sailor ready to stand a watch.No Salt Sailing is not a pay-to-sail program. Every race berth is earned on the water, never bought - which means your donation goes entirely to the program, not to a seat. If you'd like to be part of getting these veterans to the starting line, give what you can, share the campaign, or just cheer us across the finish line.
