Sailability Lessons
Boating for people with learning disabilities and difficulties
“Sailing is open to everyone. Regardless of age or ability, it’s a level playing field out on the water and the opportunities to get involved are ever evolving.” RYA Sailability
Sailing has so many health benefits, mental and physical, and truly is a sport that can be enjoyed by all.
“It is well-know that participation in Sailing by people with disabilities is widely regard as having positive outcomes on self-esteem and the health of the participants. Many anecdotal experiences are reported in the literature on the use of Sailing in the rehabilitation of disabled people as well in behavioural disorders.” National Library of Medicine.
"What an amazing day I had with Ross and Malcolm and the sunshine. Fairly surreal that I was actually outdoors, on a boat and learning a new skill. Malcolm is the most amazing empathetic, intuitive trainer I've ever met. My anxiety and depression lifted, and I felt joyous for the first time in over a year! I would really love to do some more. My hope is to rest this summer and hope my disease goes into remission. I have flagged you all over my Facebook page which is linked to local/ national disability groups added you onto several local disability forums online. Thank you for the opportunity, Zoe. It really was life affirming for me and has given me a reason to fight and a goal to head for"
