Sailability
Greater Tamps Bay’s mission is to provide
affordable accessible sailing activities and education. Sailability
focuses on community integration to improve the quality of life for
all involved. Sailability can provide
a starting point for your introduction into sailing, racing and fun on
the water. We welcome all new interested beginner sailors, even if you
have never sailed. Everyone will have the opportunity to enjoy the
sport of sailing, from the young to the old of all abilities.
To these ends, Sailability’s
past, current and planned activities (carried out by volunteers) shall
strive ……..
·
To be an innovative leader
in the area of accessible sailing program and to be a model for other
like programs throughout Florida and the United States.
·
To promote the benefits of
accessible sailing as a means of integrating the disabled and
able-bodied communities into a society of one.
·
To increase recreation,
independence, motivation and inspiration among people who have a
disability to improve their quality of life.
Sailability
was founded in 2001 and has a rich history of making it possible
for the handicap to enjoy a day of sailing in
Clearwater.
Access Dinghies were designed to appeal
to that huge majority of the world's population who would love to have a
go at sailing, but find it too difficult or uninviting to do so.
Whether as a recreation, a competition sport or a therapeutic activity;
the Access Dinghy design features allow total novices of any ability to
sail with little or no effort regardless of the conditions.
