Our Message
Gratitude Sailing, Inc., a Kirkland based, State of Washington non-profit organization, was formed to use the experience of sailing to help people unburden themselves from a physical, mental or social crisis. The healing properties of the nautical environment promote the well-being of our clients. Some of our outings will be for a few hours and some are extended voyages throughout Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands.
“We know Heeling is Healing, and we are committed to serving those that sailing can help,” says Stephen Lamson, who founded the group in 2013. “All monies raised will fund moorage, maintenance, liability insurance, supplies, and instruction. We do not charge for our services to the public. We rely on funding from our donors, angels and fundraisers like our annual auction at the Seattle Yacht Club. We invite you to invest in our novel and exciting work."
We Need Your Help...
All of our sailings are provided free of charge. It is through the generosity of both corporate and individual doners that this is made possible. Donations of any size allow us to continue to expand our services as our demands increase - right here in our own community.
