"Blue Ocean" Community Sails

As a non-profit organization, the Bob Koll Sailing Foundation is dedicated to bringing sailing and sea exploration education to those who would not otherwise have access to this experience, particularly under-privileged Southern California youth. In this mission, we regularly bring youth and other needy Orange County based non-profit organizations out aboard “Blacksilver”, our program sailing vessel on our "Blue Ocean" Community Sails to experience marine life, the sea, learn about sailing and build life skills. Our unique Community Sails program is based around university educators, college students, and university alumni, educated and skilled in sailing, who seek to help youth and other deserving community groups succeed and build life skills.

Our "Blue Ocean" Community Sails can be arranged by calling us. We welcome youth and other community non-profit groups interested in working with us.

If you would like to organize a sail on Blacksilver for your non-profit group, please email us at info@BobKollSailing.org. Note that this program would not be possible without our loyal donors who believe in our program. If you are interested in donating to our cause, please contact Jane Hartley at: jthartley@yahoo.com or visit our donate page for more information.

Learn to Crew Blacksilver

Our volunteers will learn how to crew Blacksilver on relaxing day sails, and when the wind hits the fan to be ready for when youth are aboard. The emphasis will be on learning safety procedures. But if you enjoy learning, you will have a blast! Link to our Learn to Crew Blacksilver program
