Access
Shetland.org lists Disabled Access Available for Delting Boating Club Caravan Park. No current source checked gave adaptive sailing, Sailability, accessible changing, pontoon access, or on-water support details, so this should be treated as site/access information rather than confirmed accessible sailing provision.
