For further information please call or email. Sailability Sport is a very important part of all our lives and brings enormous physical, social and psychological benefits. These benefits are particularly important for those people with disabilities, but often they get to enjoy them all too rarely. Sailing, more than any other sport, gives us a chance to change this. At Fairlands Valley Outdoor Activities we support the RYA Sailability Scheme and believe we are well placed to help people with disabilities take up the sport. Stevenage Sailability won a Pride of Stevenage Award ‘So Sharing’ in 2011. This recognised the volunteers for working hard to promote the physical, social and psychological benefits of sport and making sailing an enjoyable experience for people of different ages with physical disabilities. For further information please call or email. Details are on the back page of this brochure.

For beginners, the One Star course is designed to give you a fun and entertaining introduction to the sport, teaching you the basics of both sports. The Two Star course is for those that have already attained their One Star or experience equivalent. This course will teach you to refine your skills, building on what you have already learnt, with the introduction of some basic white water paddle strokes. These courses are separated into Youth (10-16) & Adult courses (16 years and upwards). There are scheduled one day courses which are all run by the BCU syllabus. If you’re not sure whether it’s the sport for you, why not have a one hour taster session at the private tuition rate before you book your course. We can also run courses for two or more people by arrangement. Rowing Taster sessions have been allowed to allow centres to get people of all ages on the water quickly and safely, giving participants their first taste of rowing. These sessions will quickly build confidence and hopefully get them moving the boat from an early stage of learning. The Stage 1 and 2 have been designed to allow participants to develop their skills over the course of time. Splitting basic skills in this way, provides participants with a next step to aim at after completing the initial award.
