The Royal Yachting Association

Welcome to Sailability's best practice manual for clubs that work with disabled visitors, volunteers and sailors.

The information contained here has been used and developed over the past 3 years and we believe it to cover almost every aspect which a sailing club might need to know about with regards to having disabled sailors and members at their club.

The information is grouped into different chapters enabling you to see clearly where you need to go for the information that you need.  You may wish to download the most useful chapters to you for future reference.

The areas higlighted are complete and ready for use, but you can see the extra chapters included that will be coming live soon.
