Set Sail for Autism J120 Challenge

August 23rd, Bayview Yacht Club held the Set Sail for Autism J120 Challenge with Judson Center Connection. The J120 Challenge paired sailing crews with Autistic individuals and their families for a short race up and down the Detroit River. It was a wonderful night out for everyone on the river. The event had perfect weather and just enough wind to make for a fun race!

Special thank you to the owners and crew of boats J-Hawker, Funtech, Night Moves, and Sleeping Tiger.
