Deck the Halls

The Pacific Swift needs your help!

After years of excellent care and maintenance the Swift is now entering an age when major repairs are anticipated—starting with new decks. The original decks have served us well since 1986, but are now worn. After one rainy sailing this year, a trainee with a bunk below a small leak joked about the efficiency of sleeping and showering at the same time! We’ve been keeping up with the caulking, but it’s time to start fresh.

The $150,000 cost of new decking materials plus installation is too much to add into our fees, so we’re seeking your help! “Deck the halls,” anyone? If you’ve been blessed with an abundance and you know how transformative the SALTS experience is, please make a charitable donation today! You may be able to afford to give up to twice what you think, because donations earn you a tax credit and the government may refund up to 50% of your gift amount (with some provincial variation). Please invest in young lives and the next 30 years of Pacific Swift! Please give today

To celebrate the campaign, our staff and crew created this greeting for you!
