Offering sailing adventures for all ages and abilities.
Built in New Zealand from a 1920 Nathaniel Greene Herreshoff design and launched in 1985, Perception has travelled the world and now calls Traverse City, Michigan her home port.
The ethos of Michigan Challenge Sailing is making sailing and the Grand Traverse Bay accessible for all. We do that by curating and offering sailing adventures for youth, teens, families, camps, therapeutic services, social services, and corporate groups.
Really, just everyone! Check us out and set up a meeting!

The power of the experience on the water.
“Perception and the bay are magical and spiritual by their very nature, in that they allow everyone who experiences her unlock the joy and power within themselves to heal, grow, learn, and play. No one walks away from her unchanged for the better. Perception helps all who come to know her become ambassadors for the Great Lakes and Grand Traverse Bay. We protect and cherish what we come to love.”
- Captain Tawny Hammond, Executive Director of Michigan Challenge Sailing
