COME and TRY SAILING!
Participants with disabilities and support people are invited to come join us for a morning of trying out sailing in our accessible sailing boats. We have accessible Hansa 303's available to use and keelboats as well.
All our volunteers are experienced sailors willing to help people with disabilities give sailing a go.
No experience required! Just a willingness to give sailing a try.
Please let us know what support you require to safely get into and around a boat, and if you will be attending this event with a support person.
Please arrive at the venue at 9:30AM to find your way to the dinghy division area to check in/ sign in Sailability W.A:
- Sail at 10AM for an approximate 1.5 hour session on the water.
- Let a volunteer know which boat you would like to try out sailing in, either a dinghy or keelboat.
- Then your volunteer skipper or crew will introduce you to the boat you you will be sailing in, and provide some assistance to embark.
- Please arrive by 9:30AM before the session starts to be introduced to your volunteer skipper and or crew, put on a life jacket and make your way towards the boat.
- Support workers assisting people with disabilities to sail with us attend for FREE!

Cancellations by US:
As we are an activity that is outside in the elements, using the wind to sail, we have safety guidelines for all activities we operate. What does that mean? It means that is the wind strength is “strong”- gusting consistently 16knts and over = 30km per hour, or if the temperature is forecast to be 35 degrees and over for an activity then the activity will be cancelled. We will refund you the cost of your ticket if we need to cancel an event!
