Welcome to Sailing Sibongile
Zulu : We are grateful
(See-bong-Ghee-Leh)

Sailing Sibongile is a community initiative aimed at improving mental health, general health and wellbeing, and community spirit.
 

Set up in the aftermath of adversity, we aim to use sailing to:

- Actively take people sailing on the boat/s owned by or on loan to Sailing Sibongile

- Build a global community of like-minded skippers who sail in the spirit of Sibongile, taking people in their local community out and expanding our reach.

- Share, share, and share some more. Sharing information, advice, and guidance on how to adopt good behaviors and break destructive cycles. Share opportunities to 'offload'. Share opportunities to get out of troublesome environments for a little bit. And, share our own stories; as that sometimes provides a little bit of perspective.

- Finally, we are aiming to enter a boat in classic era (70's & 80's, with little to zero modern technology) ocean and round the world races, and use those platforms to broadcast our message.
