Beginner
Foyle Sailability welcomes disabled or severely disadvantaged participants whether or not they have previous on-water experience. Current homepage copy describes individual sailing sessions at Foyle Port Marina, with booking essential and activity dependent on tide, weather, and volunteer support.
Training· Unclear
Current participant training or RYA course availability was not found. The current homepage says activities are supported by trained and qualified volunteers and describes a longer-term ambition to support higher sailing or watersport skills, but it does not publish a current training course offer for participants.
Taster
The current homepage says Foyle Sailability runs individual sailing sessions at Foyle Port Marina every two weeks, tide and weather dependent, and welcomes people with no on-water experience. Booking is essential. A separate 2024 programme page mentions a future try-sailing event, but that date was not confirmed and is stale as of this check.

Prices

The current homepage says events are low cost or free, but no exact current session, membership, course, or hire prices were found. The programme page includes older membership-fee text in a 2020 section and was not treated as current pricing evidence.

Membership

Boat hire
The current homepage says Foyle Sailability makes sailing accessible using equipment including Hansa 303 accessible boats, a hoist, pontoons, and trained volunteer support. This appears to be equipment used for booked supported sessions, not standalone public boat hire.
