Support Youth Sailing in New Smyrna Beach by Becoming a "Founding Plank Owner"

Navy Plank owner tradition:

Back in wooden-ship Navy days, the original crewmembers got bragging rights—literally—to claim a deck plank when the ship was built. Today it's symbolic: first-on-board folks earn exclusive "Founding Plank Owner" status  

Just like the first crew of a new ship, your donation makes you one of the founding supporters of our Youth Sailing Foundation at New Smyrna Beach. Only the original backers earn this exclusive title as you help launch the next generation of sailors
