We have experienced sailors to help and to accompany you on the boats.

SAILABILITY ACTIVITIES

Goolwa Regatta Yacht Club Sailability has four 3.03 Access dinghies available for sailors with a disability to enjoy the sport of sailing.   A specially designed trailer is used to transport the boats from storage to sailing site and a crane can be fitted to the trailer for special trips away.  The crane is also used on the Sailability jetty at the GRYC to assist with sailor transfers when required.  Monthly sailing days are well attended with sailors of all ages participating, together with their families and carers.  Lunch is available for a small charge and a valuable social event is enjoyed by everyone.

VOLUNTEERS

Programs such as Sailability could not exist without the dedicated support of volunteers.  It is a very rewarding activity and a wonderful opportunity to share your time and skills with some very enthusiastic and adventurous people.  If you would like to join Sailability as a volunteer, or come and see what it is all about, please contact Trevor Kennewell
