Maritime disaster relief where larger ships can't reach.
A shallow-draft sailing vessel reaches ports and islands larger ships cannot — where help is hardest to deliver.
A 501(c)(3) maritime relief mission
Hope, delivered by sail, to the communities the next storm will reach first.
The Pacific Star is a 100-foot sailing vessel in final refit — a mobile disaster relief and medical support platform built to reach communities larger ships cannot. We launch in October.
Mission
Relief where it's hardest to deliver.
Three commitments shape everything we do — meeting communities in crisis, carrying the presence of faith into that work, and training the next generation of responders.
The hands and feet of Jesus, in everyday life.
We look for people in need and help them. That's the whole framework — in a disaster zone or at home.
Training and formation, set apart for service.
Summers onboard: medical teams training before missions, youth learning first aid, seamanship, and service.
Where we are
$365,000 invested. $350,000 left to launch.
Over four years and countless hours, the hull has been rebuilt, engines serviced, decks laid, and final painting begun. The last mile is focused, all-at-once, and specific: rigging, navigation, solar, safety, and compliance.
"We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure."
Hebrews 6:19
