The Adventuress Cup is more than a regatta—it’s a community-powered race for access, education, and the future of the Salish Sea.
Why It Matters
Too many young people in our region—especially those from communities with limited access to the waterfront—have never experienced sailing or marine ecosystems firsthand.
Through Sound Experience programs aboard the historic schooner Adventuress, students gain hands-on maritime and environmental education that builds confidence, connection, and stewardship.
Community partnerships make this access possible. One recent collaboration brought youth from South Everett on a life-changing voyage to the San Juan Islands—an experience they may not have otherwise had the opportunity to enjoy. Learn more about this impact in this feature from 48° North .
