Sailing with a smile....

Sailing for the Disabled offers adults and children with a wide range of disabilities the chance to enjoy sailing on our own boat Pride of Mann II. Many of the people assisted have no previous experience of sailing - some have never been in a yacht before. It is a sport that may be tried at any age and with virtually any disability, including people in wheelchairs and those with visual and hearing impairment.

Applications for disabled membership are considered from anyone reaching the age of 12 or over. Anyone without disability must be aged 16 or over before applying, unless they have a sibling with disability who is already a member.

Give it a go

Everything changes once you step on board the yacht. Some things are more difficult, some much easier. Physically and mentally nothing is the same – even your mood changes. Being on the sea brings everything from exhilaration to tranquillity. Through Sailing for the Disabled – Isle of Man, whatever your disability, a whole new life opens up for you.

What we can offer

Our current vessel, is a 46` Bavaria cruiser. She was named by HRH The Princess Royal Pride of Mann II in April 2005 and is well named not only because the charity is proud of its achievements, but also for the pride that disabled sailors take in being able to sail on an equal footing with their able-bodied counterparts. Every person sailing with us is treated as an individual and their specific needs are considered. Experience gained with our previous vessels has demonstrated that disability is not a barrier to managing onboard.
