Who we are
Keep Sailing is a non-profit organization that aims to promote and foster people's engagement in various water activities.
Our mission
Our mission is to inspire individuals to embrace the joy of being on the water, regardless of their age or experience level. We firmly believe that the calming and exhilarating nature of water activities can greatly contribute to personal well-being and a sense of community.
Our Beginning
Despite beginning in March 2020, amidst the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, we witnessed an unprecedented demand for watersports. It was a time when people wanted to get out of their homes, meet people and learn new skills!
Our Model
Keep Sailing has a simple and innovative business model. We partner with sailing clubs to provide comprehensive training programs while also generating income for the clubs themselves. This mutually beneficial collaboration allows us to support the sailing community while simultaneously expanding the club's membership base.
Our founders
Our founders, Ben Kimbell and Freddie Cardew Smith, bring a wealth of experience in the watersports industry. With over 15 years of expertise, they have worked with the Royal Yachting Association (RYA - sailing's national governing body in the UK) and managed one of the largest watersports centres in the UK. Their diverse backgrounds and deep industry knowledge ensure that Keep Sailing stands at the forefront of delivering exceptional experiences to our participants.
