Milton Keynes Sailability has been established
for over 20 years, its aims are to enable persons with differing
forms of disability to actively participate in the sport of sailing.
Members and novices of all ages are able to go out with qualified
instructors, or experienced sailors, until they are confident and
competent in handling a dinghy.
When they can sail competently, members can sail during
most MK Sailing Club sessions as long as they can arrange for help
in rigging, launching and recovery. Members, if they wish, can sail
just socially or they can take a sailing course to gain nationally
recognized sailing qualifications and sail competitively at national
regattas.
The group is part of MK sailing Club and uses the
facilities at Caldecotte Lake (South) in Milton Keynes. Organized
Sailability sessions on the programme are covered by full rescue
facilities and life jackets or buoyancy aids are provided. A hoist
is available to enable members to gain access to the boats if needed.
We have six specially adapted dinghies; four Challengers, a single-seated
Access Dinghy and a two-seated Access Dinghy.
