SHAKE-A-LEG has a New Name!

After 26 years, Shake-A-Leg, the oldest disabled sailing program in the US based in Newport, is now SAIL TO PREVAIL! The new name embodies the tenacity and blooming self-confidence of the thousands of disabled participants who have sailed from Fort Adams State Park for nearly three decades. They have prevailed! Overcoming their adversities they have successfully managed small and large victories on Narragansett Bay. SAIL TO PREVAIL most appropriately describes their conquests.

They have prevailed! Despite the odds, despite the elements, and despite the limitations of their disabilities. They have sailed their boats without fear, without trepidation, and with an attitude of victory. They have, and will continue to, SAIL TO PREVAIL. Whether participating vigorously on our own first-ever adapted 12 Metre yacht Easterner, or simply learning a new task in our fleet of Freedom 20s or Sonars, they have, and will continue to Sail To Prevail! And in the process will develop the skills and fortitude that can be transferred to other parts of their lives.
