sailing is for everyone. 💙⛵

spectrum sailing is back in holland for a three-day camp designed specifically for autistic youth ages 10–17.

hosted by mbja, spectrum sailing runs august 15–17 from 9am–12pm, giving young sailors the chance to learn knots, sailing fundamentals, water safety, and most importantly how to sail!

the best part? this camp is 100% free for every kid who attends.

help us spread the word so more families can experience the confidence, connection, and joy that comes from being out on the water. and if you can, consider supporting spectrum sailing with a donation to help keep these camps free for the kids who need them. learn more at spectrumsailing.org

meet adia. ⛵️

she recently earned her very first 1st place finish at a regatta, and we couldn’t be more excited for her. over the past year, we’ve watched her confidence grow with every practice and every race. seeing that hard work pay off is what it’s all about.

we’re so proud of you, adia. 💙

we put our director, tim, to the test… 👀🎤

could he guess our mbja coaches just by hearing their voices?

some were easy. some definitely had him second guessing himself. 😂

close your eyes, listen along and see how many you can get right before tim does. drop your score in the comments! ⛵️💙

meet anneke hackney. 💙⛵️

whether she’s coaching on the water, encouraging sailors from the coach boat, or celebrating every little win, anneke brings so much energy and positivity to mbja.

our sailors are lucky to learn from coaches who love the sport and care just as much about building confidence as they do building great sailors.

thanks for everything you do, anneke… we’re so glad you’re part of the mbja crew!

there’s just something about sailing camp. ⛵️💙

the days are full, the sun is hot, and before you know it, the kids who showed up on monday not knowing each other are laughing like they’ve been friends forever.

they learn how to sail, but they also learn to work together, cheer each other on, and try things they didn’t think they could do.

that’s what makes sailing camp so special. and honestly, we wouldn’t want to spend summer anywhere else.

when the wind hits pause… the fun doesn’t. 😎⛵️

during friday’s postponement at the myc wmysa regatta, our sailors made the most of the wait with an impromptu limbo competition. because around here, it’s not just about the racing… it’s about the friendships, the laughs, and making every moment on and off the water count.

safe to say… we’ve got some pretty talented limbo champions too. 😂

views from the opti circle. ⛵️💙

there’s nothing like the excitement before the first start. friends catching up, coaches giving last-minute tips, sails going up, and everyone ready to get out on the water.

friday’s myc wmysa regatta was another great day of racing, learning, and making memories. we’re so proud of our mbja sailors for showing up, supporting each other, and giving it their all.

these are the days we’ll be talking about long after summer ends.

a week at mbja goes by fast, but the memories stick around.

five days of sunshine, wind, new skills, big laughs, and plenty of time on the water. every capsize becomes a story, every sail builds confidence, and every week ends with new friends you can’t wait to see again.

there’s still plenty of summer left to make it count. come spend a week with us on the water. ⛵💙
