"A sail for rebirth" is the project of ASD MAD Mure a Dritta in support of women who have experienced and are experiencing moments of difficulty due to major pathologies or for other reasons. 

A precious gift for those who are trying to overcome a difficult time, for victims of abuse, for those who fight a pathology. Sailing becomes support, therapy and beauty to be reborn stronger and smiling than ever.

Starting from the 2025 season, some places will be made available for women who, although not experiencing a difficult time, wish to participate in the activities and embrace the project in its entirety.

A multidisciplinary approach

The most traditional sailing programs usually include activities on dinghies or pleasure boats lasting only a few hours and the focus is only on sailing as a sport and not as a way of life. 

A sail for rebirth is proposed with a multidisciplinary approach and from time to time different professional figures are involved, from the physiotherapist specialized in post-operative rehabilitation, to the nutritionist specialized in nutrition for cancer patients, sailing instructors and professionals such as the expert in environmental education. 

The sailboats used are all boats of 11-15 meters, suitable for cruising and equipped with all comforts. 

The boats, on which guests and professionals will spend one or more days, become the center of the activities: the boat is the place to share joys and difficulties, the home base on the sea that welcomes you with an affectionate embrace. 

On the boats you cook, live, share bread and emotions, here some of the rehabilitation activities take place and in any case from here you always leave to – with the good season – also carry out activities in the water.

On the boats you can relax and the problems, left on the pier when the moorings were released, will appear lighter on the return and can be faced with renewed energy. 

The programs

Daily sailings: departing from the base of Marina di Carrara, a sail to discover the Gulf of Poets from the sea. 

4-8 women on a sailing boat and together with the crew there will be a physiotherapist expert in post-operative rehabilitation – Dr. Francesca Giunti – who will hold a physiotherapy lesson in the water with targeted exercises.

Nutrition to feel good An expert in nutrition on board to talk about food, choice and preparation of foods so that they become allies for health. Dr. Roberta Tartarini – a nutritionist biologist expert in clinical and applied nutrition – will direct the guests towards an appropriate diet.

Long weekends (four days from Friday to Monday): for small groups of 4-6 women on each sailboat (in addition to the captain, CONI certified instructor and the professionals of our staff), the weekend will allow participants to share a different experience than usual and enjoy a taste of life on board.
