Beginner
Carsington Sailability enables people with disabilities to try sailing and take part regularly. The page invites people to come along and give sailing a try, says disabled and able-bodied members work together, and says new people interested in getting involved are welcome.
Training
Carsington Sailability says it runs a variety of events including dinghy racing and training sessions. The wider club is an RYA Recognised Training Centre with formal adult, youth, powerboat and shore-based training, but the Sailability page should be treated as the direct source for disability sailing training activity.
Taster
The Sailability overview invites people to come along and give sailing a try and says the group meets on Wednesdays and Saturdays throughout the year except January. It advises contacting the club before attending if assistance is required.
