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 Island, 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.

Travels

While the Pacific Swift regularly takes trainees for trips around Vancouver Island, it occasionally participates in an offshore voyage, often travelling for a full year before returning to port. A full list of the trips can be found on the S.A.L.T.S. Website
