Sailing is a sport that gets into your blood.  For some of us it brings exciting competition, self-reliance, fear, exhilaration, others just enjoy the water as a way of relaxation. 

Through sailing, less mobile sailors can compete as equals with able bodied, social stigma disappears, equality is restored and confidence resumed.
But we need more money

RYA Sailability needs long term commitment to help with planning and development to make sure that thousands more people with disability get onto the water.  RYA Sailability received valuable assistance from the RYA but is dependant on corporate and personal donations, everything helps.

Imagine the joy of sailing for people who can feel and hear but cannot see, or who sail at speed but cannot walk, of taking part in a sport where deafness does not matter.

If you can help bring this freedom to everyone with a disability whether they are, partially sighted, physically disabled or deaf, then please print and complete a form from related links at the top of this page and return it to us today.  Give the gift of sailing and you will be making a real difference.

RYA Sailability is dedicated to making these opportunities a reality.  With your help we can buy specially designed boats, pontoons, moving and handling equipment and hoists, provide advice on accessibility for clubs, make club houses and changing rooms accessible and even help provide training about the needs of people with disabilities.
