Sailability Pittwater Happy 28th Birthday!

"The Early Days
Sailing is exhilaration and freedom for all, an inherent part of our culture and enjoyment of Pittwater. An Organization's that subscribes to this love of water and the expanded horizons given by being in a boat and in a breeze, to the calmness and big grin brought out in all, is Sailability Pittwater. Their affirmed purpose is ‘to facilitate sailing for everyone, regardless of age or ability with emphasis on opportunities for people with disabilities’.

As we head towards the new sailing season this local branch of the empowering and liberating Sailability organisation opens Augusts’ celebrations of organisations that invest in people and health, in culture and spirit, in Pittwater itself.

Sailability Pittwater has been in existence for 16 years now (April each year is anniversary) and is an established part of our community. Why do you think the community, apart from hearing delightful squeals and laughs, has so quickly embraced and supported this great organisation?

It is in no small measure a credit to the drive and enthusiasm of Allan Jones, who with his wife Jan and many supporters, did the ‘hard yards’, establishing the basis of what is arguable the most successful Sailability Branch in NSW, and probably Australia. Early operations were out of BYRA, where sailors and crew had to negotiate tidal flats before sailing. This involved a lot of heavy lifting and hard work, however at Rowland Reserve we have been able use equipment which takes all the heavy work out of it.

Allan garnered support from local councillors and politicians, including the Governor of NSW Marie Bashir, John Brogden and now Rob Stokes, and particularly Patricia Giles and David James of Pittwater Council.

15 years of Service were recognised as Sailability Pittwater opened its new permanent home " THE Shed" with
John Brogden (& son), Mayor Harvey Rose & John McCausland at official opening of shed in Pittwater Council Compound, Rowland Reserve, Nov 2009"

28 years on The Next Generation of Sailors continues the traditions and indeed the rigging of the founders. Having steered a careful course through the COVID-19 waves the Volunteer Team continues to bring the "Freedom of Pittwater Sailing" to sailors both younger and wiser.

Happy Birthday Sailability Pittwater! Fair winds to the future.
