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.
Foyle Sailability provides accessible sailing and water-based activity from Foyle Port Marina and Greencastle, using adapted boats, pontoons, hoists and trained volunteers.
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.
The current homepage says parents or carers must stay onsite during sessions, but it does not publish clear current junior, family, or age-range details. The membership form collects date of birth and emergency contact details, but no current junior programme details were found.

Foyle Sailability is specifically set up for people with disabilities or severe disadvantage.

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.
