The nonprofit Sail Sand Point will soon begin a gradual reopening by offering limited boat rentals and some sailing courses.

The combination of learning to navigate a sailboat plus math and physics lessons bolsters young women's self-esteem and helps them feel empowered. As Nicole Sanchez explains, these are benefits that last long after the sails come down.
