Subheading: Casual and RYA-Accredited Options
We offer two session types, both held at Farmoor Reservoir and supported by trained volunteers and instructors.
Sailability Casual Session
A relaxed, social evening on the water. No prior experience is needed. These sessions are ideal for building confidence and enjoying time afloat with support from our dedicated volunteers. Boats are adapted to suit a range of mobility and access needs.
Sailability RYA Training Session
For disabled sailors who want to work towards RYA qualifications. These sessions follow the RYA syllabus and provide one-to-one or small group instruction in a supportive environment.
