Fife Sailability

Fife Sailability is a Club specifically for those with a disability, it is based at Lochore Meadows Watersports Centre in central Fife.

RYA

We operate as part of the Royal Yachting Association's Sailability initiative, facilitating the exhilaration and freedom that sailing can bring to all. We can mix & match gentle cruising, hands on sailing or formal training to suit individual needs and welcome groups or single participants. Parents and/or carers are welcome to share the experience. We supply essential safety equipment but visitors need to wear clothing suitable for a cool and rainy day. We have a dedicated changing/shower/toilet facility for our disabled participants. We are qualified to transfer sailors with our certified hoists and set high standards in safety and protection of vulnerable persons.

"Despite the windy night we just had, I am pleased to report that Kitty is still safely on her mooring!!!"

Thank you Peter for checking

For club days, please bring with you lots of warm clothes.

It always feels cooler out on the water. We want your experience with Fife Sailability to be as comfortable and you get maximum enjoyment.

Being cold and wet doesn't help this so please wrap up warm.

Admin mistake ...

Someone contacted us about joining and sailing Kitty, they emailed with all their information typed on email (not on the membership form).

I thought I had replied tonight but now I can't your email anywhere at all!!

Please, please contact us again if you were wanting to join and waiting for a space on Kitty.

Apologies,

Rachel 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Volunteers are the heartbeat of Sailability. So many different types of people give their time to support sailors in getting on the water - and there is a role for everyone, on or off the water! So if you've been thinking of joining, but perhaps you're not an avid sailor (yet!) there's still a space for you here!💙

On the water you could help with:
⛵Instructing and coaching
⛵Helming and crewing
⛵Race management
⛵Safety boat crew

Off the water you could help with:
⭐Preparing boats and handing out kits to sailors
⭐Provide a warm welcome and contact point for enquiries
⭐Help maintain boats
⭐Help with membership schemes, handling monies fundraised, ensure legislation and regulations are complied with etc.
⭐Digital, communications and marketing to spread the word of your club

Or even providing a nice warm cup of tea and a homemade bake - especially on those chilly days!☕🍰

There's so many roles available at your local club, so please do reach out if you think you could help!
