We are raising funds for the Sailing Team of our local club – Iata Clube Santa Cruz, because it has proven difficult for the club to find sponsors recently.
The club’s young athletes have been dedicating all their free time to training and they have been taking part in regional regattas. There are opportunities for the team to take part in national events on the main continent to gain more exposure and experience, however without extra financial support, it will not be possible for them to participate.
Sailing teaches young people leadership skills, strategic thinking, independent decision making, shapes young people’s characters and encourages discipline. It is a great channel to release energy, leaving with passion for life.
Sailing is also an ecological hobby as only uses the power of wind. In todays growing interest of ecological life, it is worth noting that sailing is significantly more ecological than any other motor sport.
Also last, but not least it’s thanks to sailors we can all enjoy this beautiful island.
