● About
Where Opportunity Sails Free
Sweet Wind invites young people to discover their future as a seafarer by offering sailing classes, free of charge, in beautiful Portsmouth, Dominica.
Sweet Wind is responding to two challenges:
The global need for more skilled, commercial seafarers,
The local need to provide the youth of Portsmouth, Dominica greater access to positive opportunities.
Classified by the United Nations as a Small Island Developing State, Dominica’s coastal communities are surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.
From Olympic sailors to Captains of tomorrow’s cargo ships, Sweet Wind is unfurling the potential of the next generation of those who go to sea.
Inspiring the next generation of seafarers to love the ocean.
