The Bottom Line Up Front
WBFV uses the magic and beauty of wooden boats as a pathway to restoring health and well-being to military veterans.
WBFV provides three programs: sail training, experiential sailing, and wooden boat preservation.
Learning to sail and saving wooden boats are outlets for coping with PTSD, and traumatic injuries.
Here, teamwork and community are fostered through sailing, racing, voyaging, restoring, and preserving.
In each program WBFV provides information about veteran benefits in healthcare, education, housing, and employment.
