Sailability

Sailing need not be exclusive; the Sailability section of Frampton on Severn Sailing Club gives anyone the opportunity to sail, whatever their physical or mental ability. The club has been sailing on an inland lake for over 50 years and the Sailability section for nearly 20 years, gradually developing for an expanding and diverging membership.  As an RYA Training Establishment, we can train sailors to achieve certificates in both sailing and powerboating.

Running on Saturdays from April to October using specially designed and adapted boats, sailors can either sail on their own or with an experienced buddy. We have powerboats that are adapted to roll on wheelchairs and can also be driven by wheelchair users. Our sailing boats are specially designed not to capsize and so are perfectly safe for sailing in most conditions. Our mantra is for enjoyment both off and on the water, hence we dont sail in the cold winter months as sitting in a boat on the water can at times be very cold.

The sessions are run to make all participants happy through a friendly atmosphere, trained helpers both on and off the water, and a safe and welcoming environment. We also have a fully accessible canteen, changing, and toilet facilities.

We are always looking to expand with more sailors and helpers, you dont have to be qualified, you dont even have to be able to sail, you just need a willingness to help.
