Murray MacDonaldAOTW Director and Founding TrusteeINTRODUCTIONI am absolutely delighted to welcome you to our first ever brochure for Autism on the Water.This brochure is packed with all information relating the charity’s schedule with our newboat, where the events will take place and when. When you see something of interest,please ensure that you email aotwofficial0@gmail.com to enquire or reserve a place.Numbers on certain trips will be limited and will be shown in the brochure.2020 was a very difficult year for so many due to COVID-19 which is still severely affectingour lives today. We spent much of the pandemic working on much needed to grow thecharity and these efforts have been of massive success.Our planned trips on our new boat for 2021 will be trialled taster sessions to see howpopular they are before we start our full regular programme in 2022.Our aim as always is to increase awareness of the Autistic Spectrum through sailing and tohelp encourage those on the spectrum to access the sport. Whilst we still continue to liveunder severe restrictions and I must emphasise that much of our plans and activitiesare subject to COVID restrictions and Government Guidelines, I feel confident that byspring we will see a massive difference and begin to get our substantially big programmeunderway!Wishing you all a safe and fair sailing for 2021 and remember our email is always turned onshould you need us!
We are very excited to launch our new Colvic Victor 34 for the 2021 season. This yacht is very well built and has a range of opportunities and benefits to givepeople with autism more comfortable, safe and stable sailing and boating experiences with the addition of indoor steering as well as outdoor steering withthree choices of sails, plus a saloon to socialise in, cooking and toilet facilities etc.Our crew and volunteers are experienced and well trained on board the yacht and will ensure your experience is as enjoyable as possible. All our activitiesare thoroughly risk assessed. With all our trips, the main factor is the weather! So as with everything, we depend on the weather! So ensure that you checkyour emails for any updates! If bad weather prevents us from going sailing or motoring, we will instead provide fun activities on board from learning differentknots, to learning about nautical charts etc.Safety is of most utmost priority with Autism on the Water. Lifejackets are worn at all times by everyone on board when on the outside deck. If you haveyounger children and need specially fitted lifejackets or buoyancy aids then please indicate this when you register your place. A full safety briefing will beheld before each trip begins. Waterproof clothing and suitable footwear is a MUST!We will provide lunch in the form of sandwiches, cuppa soups and Pot Noodles plus juice, teas and coffees and plenty chocolate biscuits! However if youhave dietary requirements or prefer your own foods then a packed lunch is permitted. Again please disclose this when you register.As this is our first year with the boat, our trips will be free of charge but suggested donations to the charity of £10 per person would be much appreciated.
