RYA Sailability exists to bring boating to people with any disability.


We financially support disabled sailing groups throughout the UK, and provide on shore training, information and advice. The words Sail and ability are synonymous with providing the opportunity for people with disabilities to go sailing. However, just as there are many types of disability, we aim to ensure that all types of boating experience are open to all. This could be cruising and dinghy sailing, power boats and windsurfing, using marinas, or boating on a local gravel pit. Many of the questions and issues raised about boating are the same whether it is from a disabled or able bodied sailor and any one of the RYA departments should be able to deal with enquiries specific to their area of boating. These links are on the left hand navigation options.

Jubilee Sailing Trust


The JST has turned me back into a person and lifted the title 'disabled' that has been hanging over me for some 12 years. The JST has helped rebuild my life. It is such a shame that it can't be put on prescription as I know I am just one of the people that the JST has helped.

The Disabled Sailing Association


Many critics of modern society's treatment of people with disabilities fault the institutional culture that surrounds them with paid staff whose work fails to empower and creates passivity.
