About Sailing for Disabled
From disability to sailability. That is what the Sailability programme hoped to achieve when it was first started in Australia and the United States of America for disabled persons of all ages to learn sailing. The long term aim is to create a global community of disabled sailors who would represent their countries in the sport. Singapore was one of the pioneer adoptees of the Sailability programme; It was launched in 2000 to promote and develop the sport locally.
