SAILING ABILITY: Sailability members<br />
enjoy an outing<br />
<strong>Poole</strong> Sailability<br />
<strong>Poole</strong> Sailability is a local charity that enables people<br />
with disabilities to enjoy the sport of sailing in <strong>Poole</strong><br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>. <strong>The</strong>y are based at Rockley Watersports.<br />
On Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings from<br />
May to October disabled members can sail on their<br />
fleet of Hawk 20 keelboats under the guidance of<br />
experienced sailors. <strong>The</strong>se boats, which can take up to<br />
5 people are fast, fun and have great stability. <strong>Poole</strong><br />
Sailability have just acquired a brand new Hawk 20<br />
keelboat, specially built by Reid Marine of Christchurch,<br />
with extra modifications for disabled use.<br />
In the winter months volunteers help to maintain the<br />
boats and hold regular theory training evenings and<br />
social events.<br />
Parkstone Yacht Club have shown great support to<br />
<strong>Poole</strong> Sailability and are currently the Club<br />
Commodore’s Charity. <strong>The</strong>y have been welcomed and<br />
encouraged by all Parkstone members at racing events,<br />
and the club have held a number of fund raising events<br />
to support them.<br />
Experienced sailors who are able to commit to a few<br />
days a month are always required to act as volunteers.<br />
No experience is necessary for disabled members.<br />
