About this club

Fife Sailability is a volunteer-run accessible sailing charity based at Lochore Meadows Watersports Centre. It supports disabled people and others who need adaptations, alongside friends, families, parents and carers. The season normally runs on alternate Saturdays from April to September, with single tasters, regular supported sailing and skills development available by prior arrangement. Adapted boats, hoists and accessible changing facilities are documented. New sailors should contact the centre first because places and allocated boat slots can be limited.

Start

Can a beginner start here?

Accessible and adapted dinghy sailing, sailing on yacht Kitty, Wheelyboat powerboating, supported tasters, regular club sailing and formal skills development.

Beginner
First-timers can book a single supported taster before deciding whether to sail regularly. Contact the Outdoor Education Centre first because spaces and suitable boats are allocated.
Training
The official site offers gentle cruising, hands-on sailing or formal training and says the club is linked with a recognised RYA Training Centre. Training is supported and arranged with the club rather than presented as a public course calendar.
Taster
A single supported taster can be booked by calling the Outdoor Education Centre on 01592 583388.
