In simple terms the objectives of Sailability are to promote the benefits of sailing to people with mental and physical handicaps. This extends to everyone regardless of age, class, gender, ethnicity and physical status including the disadvantaged and those who cannot contribute financially. These latter we will support and will not allow to be excluded on financial grounds. We also welcome able bodied members (usually family members) to encourage and reinforce the integration of disabled peop
The motto of Sailabilty Vlaanderen vzw (Sailability) is "Iedereen moet kunnen zeilen" - Everybody should be able to sail. Our goal is to help bring sailing to those with disabilities and create a space safe within the sailing world by reviewing the suitability of the locations and advises on adaptions that might be necessary to ensure accessibility and safety. Sailability also loans boats and equipment (lifts/trailers) as required.
To date our activities have focused on recreational sailing and to a much lesser degree on competition sailing alongside volunteer sailors and mentors to make sailing safe for all.
We will continue to train the sailing monitors and volunteers, start a training program to encourage as many G-sailors as possible to have the confidence and ability to sail independently, while encouraging disabled people to engage sports and activities.
