RYA Sailability exists to bring boating to people with any disability.
28 July 2005 - 17:49
Our role is to encourange and support people with disabilities to take up the sport of sailng and other boating activities and facilitate their integration into the boating community.
There are nearly 200 sailing sites across the UK that run activities for people with disabilities. Taking part alongside able-bodied people, there is the opportunity for disabled people participate in regular club events, activities and competitions on the sea, lakes, rivers and reservoirs. Hundreds of enthusiasts both ashore and afloat give their time, expertise and support to help make our goals a reality.
Sailing is one of the very few sports in which able-bodied sailors and disabled sailors may participate on equal terms.
We are an independent charity and are not financially supported by the RYA. Without generous donations from all people of all backgrounds we could not exist.
To allow us to continue help the many thousands of disabled sailors please visit our Gifts and Grants section.
