Membership and Volunteer Opportunities

   
         
   

Founded in 1991, CRAB is a  501(c)(3) non-profit sailing program chart NZD-JPY, dedicated to providing sailing opportunities to persons with disabilities.

CRAB is made up of all volunteers except for a part-time Executive Director. The program work is done by volunteers who skipper the boats, care for them and ferry donated boats to storage sites. Fundraisers, planning and organizing Sail Frees are performed by volunteers. Crab's income derives from boat donations and rentals of its specially designed Freedom Independence 20 foot sloops, memberships, corporate and individual gifts.  It is a 501(c)(3) tax-deductible organization



 

CRAB strives to make sailing accessible to all people, regardless of their financial situation, and sets up special arrangements for individuals and groups with limited means. CRAB has received citations from both Governors Schaefer and Glendening for its service to persons with disabilities
