Thought of giving sailing a go?

Not been sure how to go about it?

Try it at BLAIRGOWRIE YACHT SQUADRON

The club has a fleet of 303 Access Dinghies. They look like dinghies but behave like keelboats. It’s easy to sail . It will not capsize.

To sail in an Access Dinghy all you do is put on a lifejacket No wading in water, no special clothing, No difficult climb into a “tippable” boat. No special balance skills on a narrow gunwale. Sit as if in a deckchair and look straight ahead, just observe the sails, the wind and the water.

 

• Ideal for people with limited mobility.
• Learn in  strong winds but  feel secure.
• Take an active part in the sailing process.
• Great if you’re new to sailing.
• An instructor can sit alongside and show you how.

 

The program is available to everyone .

From the very young to the senior would be sailor.

People with a disability are also able to sail.

Solo or with help.
