Wimbleball Sailing Club

Sailing for the disabled started at Wimbleball Lake many years ago with a group of dedicated and enthusiastic Wimbleball Sailing Club members. Experienced volunteers from the clubs membership are on hand Wednesdays and Fridays each week between May and September to assist members of the local disabled community get afloat. We cater for all ambitions whether that be to learn to sail in our specially adapted boats or just to enjoy the ride in our yachts and special powerboats that can accommodate wheelchairs. We provide experienced crews for the yachts and powerboats and, if necessary, experienced buddies to help you learn to sail in some of our smaller craft.

Wimbleball Sailability has electric wheelchairs that clients can use and hoists at the waters edge to assist in transferring from land to water and back again. The sailing club is wheelchair friendly with a large carpark and we have specialised toilet facilities on site. We also provide an area of picnic tables for exclusive seating and eating with an awning that can be deployed depending on the weather.
