About Sailability

Founded in 1995 and based at Rutland Sailing Club (RSC), the mission is one of

“Sharing the sport of sailing with people with a wide range and degree of disability, through recreation, training and racing – towards the limits of individual aspirations.”

This might range from learning to sail, the satisfaction of sailing solo, racing at local, national or international level or simply enjoying the sensation of being out on the water in a beautiful setting such as Rutland Water.

Sailing activities take place at Rutland Sailability from April to October.  During the winter months, a range of talks, training courses and social activities are also arranged, providing members with year-round opportunities to maintain regular contact with like-minded friends.

Membership is open to people with physical, sensory or intellectual disabilities from aged 7 years with no upward age limit.  In addition, if you are able-bodied and would like to support our activities on a regular weekly basis, sailing skills are a bonus but certainly not essential – there are plenty of other tasks.  We look forward to hearing from you.

The ethos of Rutland Sailability is to develop each individual’s potential so that, wherever possible, everyone will achieve independence on the water and be able to sail single-handed.
