Donate your used sails

John and Linda Dodge are into their second month with their Project Sails to Save Haiti, a donation program designed to get as many used sails (the bigger the better but we will take anything) as well as spinnaker poles, lines, and anything else one might think of to construct shelter to over 600,000 Haitians who have been left out in the exposure due to the January 12th earthquake that killed over 230,000.

With the rain season now upon them, time is of the essence. Their focus in on the sailing community of the Chesapeake Bay and will pick up donations with just a phone call. All donations will be shipped to Haiti for distribution to the homeless. North Sails Chesapeake in Annapolis has also agreed to act as a drop off point for local sailors in that area.
