The Sail and Life Training Society (SALTS), founded in 1974, is a non-profit Christian organization based in Victoria, British Columbia.

SALTS provides sail training and life lessons for 1,700 young people each year on tall ships[2] and provides a valued link to the area's maritime heritage.

[7] Due to new Canadian regulations for offshore vessels which the current tall ships do not meet, these trips are on hold until a new schooner is completed.

SALTS arranges a third-party appraisal for the value of the tax receipt issued, and handles moorage, transportation and broker's fees.

The wood hull of Pacific Swift was built as a working exhibit at Expo 86 in Vancouver, British Columbia.

After two seasons of coastal sailing, she departed in September 2003 on her first offshore voyage: down the coast to Costa Rica, west to Galapagos and Pitcairn, and back through the Marquesas and the Hawaiian Islands.
