Sailing for people with disabilities.

Overview

We have over 25 years of experience of facilitating safe sailing for people with disabilities in the delightful setting of Rutland Water. We offer a range of training, sailing for fun, & racing, for those with every level of sailing skill - beginners to elite. We provide accessible boats & equipment, in a fully accessible venue and the support of a great team of friendly, experienced volunteers. We welcome sailors with a disability & able-bodied volunteers. Everyone is a member and age is no barrier. We currently have members aged between 7 and 87 yrs old! Thursdays are open to all, with our dedicated youth group (those under 18) taking part on Saturdays.

Accessibility Information:

We are disability-friendly with wheelchair ramps, lifts, golf buggies and a changing suite specifically designed for people with disabilities. To get people into boats from wheelchairs we have hoists designed specifically for the purpose. We even have a bean bag or two to allow folks to sit in some of the larger boats where they would be unable to sit in a conventional seat.
