Welcome to Waveney Sailability
Accessible sailing for those with impaired health or disabilities
Waveney Sailability is a trust set up in 2005 by local Rotary Clubs and businesses with the aim of providing opportunities for those with disabilities and health impairments. Sailability is associated with the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) and Hansa Dinghy Association.
There are over 200 Sailability organisations within the UK and it also operates in over 20 countries under the umbrella of the RYA – each club being an autonomous charity.
We meet on a Tuesday at the Waveney & Oulton Broad Yacht Club, located in Nicholas Everett Park from mid-April to mid-October and during the non-sailing season we meet once a month for a social get-together.
Our aim is to teach people to sail and race within the club, although there is no obligation to race, and general sailing is always available. We have had members compete in National Regattas around the UK.
It’s not all about the sailing though as our members and volunteers also enjoy the social side of belonging. There is a volunteer run on-site café and whilst not sailing tea, cake and chat are the order of the day.
