Overview
Fun, entertaining and an opportunity for anybody with any disability to really sail together with their carer or family if they wish.
The Disabled Sailing Association (also known as Thomas Morley Trust) has properly designed yachts and dinghies which allow any disabled person to use them and take part to the limit of their disability rather than the accessibility of the craft, especially wheelchair users - no other organisation offers such facilities. Because of this, disabled young people from all over the UK, access our services.
We enable wheelchair users to participate in the physical activity of ‘real’ sailing. Sailing is one of the very few sports in which disabled sailors can participate on an equal basis to able-bodied people.
We also support visually impaired, people on the autistic spectrum, amputees and other complex needs; all have sailed with the Disabled Sailors Association and are all welcome. We do not actually refuse anyone as our yachts are the only ones in the world that a seriously disabled person can actually sail.
The charity sails from Port Solent Marina Office, Lock Approach, Portsmouth PO6 4TJ.
