RYA Sailability

Through RYA Sailability over 20,000 people with a disability have been able to experience sailing and sail regularly.

Sailing is one of the very few sports in which able-bodied sailors and disabled sailors can participate on equal terms.

Imagine the thrill of sailing for people who can feel and hear but have no sight, or of sailing a boat at speed even though they can't walk, or of joining in a sport where deafness doesn't matter.

Sailability continues to encourage and support people with disabilities to take up the sport and facilitate sites to develop sailing opportunities.
