Offshore sailing brings you face to face with nature and the elements. It combines adventure, excitement, mental and physical challenge, teamwork and companionship.We believe that the rewards should be there for all - including people with disabilities.

We have 5 years experience providing offshore sailing for people with multiple sclerosis and know very well how the experience can renew self confidence and self worth while giving people a genuine break from their everyday cares.

Our yachts are not suitable for people who need a wheelchair at all times or need nursing care. However, they are suitable for people with mobility limitations or for blind, VI or deaf people. All you need is a will to have a go.

There are no "passengers". Crews learn how to sail the boat, are fully involved in steering, deckwork etc and at the end of a week are left with a glowing sense of achievement.

Although the boat is not wheelchair accessible, we do carry wheelchairs for use ashore. Anyone who can move around a room holding on to furniture can manage aboard. Most tasks can be done sitting down and of course the boat provides the transport and accommodation in one package.

Visually Impaired People

Blind or VI sailors can now participate fully in sailing "Tonic" using a special system which provides voice outputs of all the boat's instrument data - compass heading, speed, depth, wind direction etc at the steering position.

Disabled Sailing Opportunities

If you are disabled and would like to sail with us just email or call us to discuss possibilities. It may be that you can join an existing course or cruise but we can also arrange special sailing sessions for particular groups.
