Sailability
Experience the thrill and excitement of sailing, regardless of your disability
We actively encourage people with disabilities to take up the sport. Imagine the thrill of sailing for people who can feel and hear but have no sight, or of joining in a sport where deafness doesn’t matter
Our clubhouse was designed with accessibility in mind. Come and see for yourself!
