In a world where outdoor recreation often remains inaccessible to individuals with disabilities, California Inclusive Sailing (CIS) shines as a beacon of change. Founded by Christian and Denise Buhl in 2014, CIS was born from a deep commitment to inclusivity and a desire to empower individuals of all abilities to enjoy the freedom of sailing.
California Inclusive Sailing (CIS) stands as a beacon of hope and empowerment for individuals of all abilities. At the heart of CIS lies a powerful mission: to promote outdoor recreation by providing adaptive sailboats to clubs eager to start or expand inclusive sailing programs. This mission is deeply personal and profoundly impactful, stemming from the journey of founders Christian and Denise Buhl and their friend John Pascal (JP).
Embarking on an inclusive journey often begins with a vision, and for Christian Buhl, that vision was shaped by the serene waters of Lake Geneva and the vibrant shores of Newport Beach. Driven by a profound commitment to inclusivity, Christian founded California Inclusive Sailing (CIS) with a mission to break down barriers and empower individuals of all abilities to experience the joy of sailing.
