The Sail and Life Training Society (SALTS) is a tall ship sail training program based out of Victoria, British Columbia.

Ships

The SALTS organization owns two tall ships, the Pacific Swift, and the Pacific Grace.

Pacific Swift

Built by S.A.L.T.S. as a working exhibit at Expo 86 in Vancouver, British Columbia, the Pacific Swift has sailed over 100,000 deep-sea miles on training voyages for young trainees. Her offshore travels have taken her to Australia and Europe, to remote communities on Easter and Pitcairn Islands, and to many other unusual and far-flung ports of call. When not offshore, she provides 5-10 day sail training programs for young people (and day sails for S.A.L.T.S. members) along the coast of British Columbia.
