OHANA Sailing foundation
"Family that are friends. Friends that become family."
For us, sailing has always been about more than setting sail. It is about the people you share it with, the places it takes you, the lessons learned along the way, and the responsibility we have to leave those places better than we found them. The Ohana Sailing Foundation exists to share that spirit—supporting amateur sailing, creating opportunities for the next generation, and helping protect the oceans we all depend on.
Keep the spirit of sailing alive.
Sailing teaches independence, teamwork, perseverance and respect for the sea.
We support amateur sailing and programs that make the sport more accessible, more inclusive and more rewarding—helping sailors of all ages experience the challenge, camaraderie and freedom that make sailing special.
Because everyone should have the opportunity to feel the wind fill the sails.
Build a family beyond the boat.
The best part of sailing is the people.
We support young sailors, sailing programs, educational opportunities and organizations that bring people together through the sport.
Whether it’s helping someone learn to sail, supporting a promising young sailor, or strengthening a local sailing community, we believe that giving people the opportunity to participate can create a lifelong connection to the water.
Family that are friends. Friends that become family.
Take care of the places that take care of us.
The ocean connects us all.
We believe every sailor has a responsibility to protect it. Through education, stewardship and support for organizations working to preserve our marine environment, we seek to make a meaningful difference.
Our guiding principle is simple:
Leave every port a little cleaner than we found it.
Sailing has given us some of life’s greatest experiences—adventure, competition, friendship, family and an appreciation for the extraordinary places that surround us.
Ohana is our way of giving something back.
We believe the sailing community has the ability to create opportunity, bring people together and become a powerful force for protecting our oceans.
That is the spirit of Ohana.
