The Swift Refit Project

Refreshing the Aft Deck

After 35 years of sail training adventures, Pacific Swift is in need of a major refit. SALTS is making use of program down-time during the pandemic to replace one third of the ship’s deck, deck beams, and deck houses in 2021. The other two-thirds will be replaced in a future winter. This is the largest construction project that SALTS has undertaken since Pacific Grace was completed in 2001!

See how the work on the aft deck has been going by watching our timelapses of the project below...

This project will provide young people with mentorship, genuine community, and adventures that nudge them towards personal and spiritual growth for decades to come—and you can be part of that story! As we refresh the schooner for another 35+ years of sail training adventures, each donation helps to provide a platform for the work and legacy of SALTS to continue long into the future. If you would like to be part of the legacy of the Swift, please give today!
