Australians are famous for their outstanding sporting achievements, however many have been prevented from trying sailing because it appears complicated, expensive, dangerous, or they are restricted by some type of disability.  Sailability is changing all that.

The aim of Sailability is to introduce people of all ages and abilities to the joys of sailing in a straight forward, fun, inexpensive way in a supportive environment.  Community based Sailability programs are continually being established around Victoria with some located at existing yacht clubs and others operating independently.

Most of our sailors just enjoy the freedom and fun of recreational sailing and the supportive social atmosphere, but there are also plenty of opportunities for the more competitive to develop their racing skills.

Sailability utilises the revolutionary Access Dinghy.  Purpose designed in Australia as an easy to sail introductory craft, these small dinghies many unique features.  Unlike conventional sailing dinghies, the sailor sits in a comfortable lazy chair facing forward, steering is made easy with a simple joystick, and a weighted keel provides stability. 

Single and double seat versions are available and a specially fitted "electric" version means that a person with a disability who can operate their own electric wheelchair can also experience the exhilaration and independence of sailing.
