I first sailed with CRAB in 2021 and every season since. The skippers have handed me the tiller every time to steer the 22 foot boat, giving me instructions on course changes. When I am handling the tiller, I momentarily forget that I am a paraplegic from a motorcycle accident 9 years ago.

I am so grateful for the support from the staff and the volunteer skippers and crew. I never expected after my accident that I would be able to sail again.
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!

CRAB was founded on the principle that people with disabilities can and should be able to live fulfilling and joyful lives and have equitable access to meaningful, therapeutic sailing. One mother had this to say, “CRAB has changed my son’s life and given him the love of sailing! One sail at a time, he’s falling in love with sailing and himself!”

As part of a strategic plan to increase the size, scope, and impact of CRAB's mission and programs, CRAB opened the premier Adaptive Boating Center in April 2023. This clearly demonstrates the CRAB's commitment to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for people of all abilities. CRAB and the ABC strive to ensure that all its guests feel welcome and comfortable during their time there, and the numbers speak for themselves. The ABC is a shining example of how a modern facility can be designed to be accessible and inclusive for all people. When guests arrive at the Adaptive Boating Center, they are amazed at the thought and planning that went into creating the state-of-the-art facility.

Just a small donation will go a long way to helping me meet my goal for CHESAPEAKE REGION ACCESSIBLE BOATING INC
