The Canvassback, a large twin-hulled sailing catamaran makes scheduled dental and medical tours in the Marshall Islands. The seventy-one foot sailing clinic is equipped with photovoltaic modular power. The Canvassback is staffed by a pool of volunteer doctors and dentists and provides free, desperately needed medical services to thousands of local Marshallese residents.
Doctors immunize school children, examine eyes and teeth and perform surgery.
On an average trip, the dental team performs over 900 fillings and root canals over a two month period.
