Sailability Scotland SCIO Accessible sailing for disabled people

Accessible sailing across Scotland

Sailability Scotland SCIO helps disabled people experience the freedom of sailing. Whether you’re new to sailing or experienced, we connect you with welcoming clubs, trained volunteers, and accessible boats.

Start here: find a club near you or see upcoming events.

To support our main purpose of promoting Disability Sailing in Scotland we organise a Traveller Regatta series of 6 regattas each year, working in partnership with host sailing clubs across Scotland. The host clubs may vary annually, helping us reach sailors in different regions.

In addition, we organise the Scottish Open Challenger Championship (SOCC). This championship is held in conjunction with one of the travelling regattas and therefore takes place at different venues from year to year.

Sailability Scotland SCIO also owns a small fleet of Challenger boats, which can be hired by members on a long-term (annual) basis or short-term for individual regattas.

Our members come from all parts of Scotland. We support them through a regular news e-letter, event notifications, and practical assistance with boat maintenance where required.
