WASH Sailability presents itself as helping people with physical, mental or sensory disabilities try sailing, with sailors able to sail with an instructor or friend. It offers two taster sessions for prospective members, so beginners appear to be explicitly catered for.
Training
The site says suitably qualified volunteers instruct from a power boat or Hansa/Access 303, WASH offers Certificates of Achievement in Sailing, and SESCA-run RYA training courses are available to WASH members when published.
The site says WASH aims to introduce sailing to people with disabilities and also their friends, families and carers. The linked membership form can be completed by a parent or guardian, but the visible pages do not describe a separate junior programme.
Access
WASH says physical, mental or sensory disabilities are welcome. The SESCA site has accessible upgrades including changing area, toilets, footpath to the lake and a hoist for wheelchair-to-dinghy transfers, plus accessible Hansa dinghies.

Prices
Current visible pricing found: WASH annual membership is GBP 15.00, regular sailing sessions are GBP 5 per session, and taster sessions are GBP 6.00 per session. A linked 2022 information sheet has conflicting older-looking figures, so the current HTML membership page has been treated as primary for membership and session prices.
WASH provides Hansa dinghies for organised sessions and members may book a boat for Sunday racing with their own support, but the site does not clearly describe public boat hire as a standalone offer.
