Beginner
Grafham Water Sailability welcomes new members and says no previous sailing experience is needed. New sailors start with an experienced sailing buddy alongside them, with solo sailing only after they feel confident, have learned the basics, and have been assessed as ready.
Training
Current evidence supports informal on-water instruction rather than a published RYA course programme: the site says beginners sail with an experienced and knowledgeable buddy who teaches them how to sail. A separate winter-training and race-coaching reference is tied to older 2024 content and was not treated as current course availability.
Taster
The site invites interested people to come along on Thursday afternoons during the 2026 sailing season to find out what the club does, or contact the club for more information. It also says new members can arrange a visit and a free trial sail on a Thursday afternoon from April to October, subject to weather and restrictions.

Suitability

Juniors, families, and accessibility

Juniors· Unclear
The current page describes the club as for adults of all ages with disabilities. It mentions carers can be included in the Drascombe longboat, but no current junior, youth, family membership, or family sailing programme details were found.
Access
Grafham Water Sailability is specifically an inclusive sailing club for adults with a range of disabilities. It has Challenger trimarans designed for disabled sailors, Hobie Mirage trimarans for individual or buddied sailing, a Drascombe longboat for small groups, a hoist and specially trained staff to assist boarding, wheelchair-suitable changing and toilet facilities, and a policy allowing qualified assistance dogs on site.

Costs

Costs, membership, and boats

Prices

Exact current 2026 prices were not found. The live homepage and linked membership forms still show 2025 fees, including individual membership, group membership and associate membership, so those figures were treated as stale rather than current pricing.

Membership

Official site describes Grafham Water Sailability as a friendly, inclusive sailing club for adults with disabilities, with Thursday afternoon sailing in season, new members welcome and free trial-sail arrangements.

Boat hire
The club provides boats and equipment for supported sailing sessions, including Challenger trimarans, Hobie Mirage trimarans, a crewed Drascombe longboat, safety boats, a coaching RIB, waterproofs and lifejackets. This appears to be club-session equipment for members or trial sailors, not independent public boat hire.
