WE ARE COMMITTED TO CONNECTING WITH OUR COMMUNITIES AND TO THINGS THAT BRING US PURPOSE.

BlueLine is passionate about giving back to nonprofits that connect youth to the natural world – through community sailing programs such as Sail Maine located in Casco Bay or through outdoor adventure education organizations such as Rippleffect. It is BlueLine’s hope that this philanthropic giving provides opportunities for all youth and young professionals access to the types of things that shaped the founders into the adults we are today – connected and committed to the environment, a place we can go to recharge and get away.

SailMaine, a community sailing center based on the Portland, Maine waterfront, provides affordable access to the water through community sailing and educational programming including robust junior summer and high school competitive sailing programing; adult learn-to-sail and adaptive sailing classes, and extensive social and family sailing and boat rentals. They aim to offer something for the entire community!
