Adaptive Sailing
Stuff We Love
July 12, 2025
For this Beaches, Boats, & BBQ issue, we wanted to give a shoutout to Traverse Area Community Sailing (TACS) and their free adaptive sailing program. Since 2009, TACS has offered inclusive sailing opportunities to folks with physical or cognitive disabilities, serious health concerns, or other mobility issues. Summer Thursdays (July 17, 24, 31 and Aug. 7, 14, 21), you can get out on the water from 4:30-8pm, launching from the Cornwell Sailing Center at the end of Hannah Ave behind the Traverse Area District Library (650 Hannah Ave.). TACS has four Hansa (Access) 303 boats known for their stability and maneuverability, and per their website, accommodations can “also made for students using our regular fleet of boats, and individualized instruction.” Registration is required, and donations are appreciated: tacsailing.org/registration.
