The Docklands Sailing and Watersports Centre has good disabled access, and we are keen to make watersports as accessible as possible to disabled people. We are always happy to discuss individual situations, to find solutions that work. While we would generally encourage disabled people to partake of our activity program in the same way as anyone else, we do also run some specialist sessions, for those who may feel they require additional support.
Freedom Afloat is an activity session open exclusively to disabled participants. The session takes place on a Friday afternoon, and is aimed at all levels of ability.
Competitive sailing we run racing on a Monday night, and also enter boats into the fully inclusive London Regatta. Special Needs participants can also get involved with the Special Olympics Sailing Squad.
Groups of all ages (8+) are welcome at the centre, we currently have a number of disabled and special needs groups attending the centre, and are happy to discuss specific requirements.
