Our Sailing Days

Sailability Pittwater We operate from September to May each year with about 4 weeks break in Dec / Jan when people are very busy. There are 2 days each fortnight that we sail at Rowland Reserve, Wednesdays from 9am till 2pm and Saturdays 9am till 2pm. Light refreshments are provided but not lunch.

For these programs we have a friendly group of volunteers, many of whom are experienced sailors, who take a range of persons with a disability for recreational sailing. We do offer basic sail training for people with a disability, and aim to give our sailors as much control of the boats as they can manage.

Come down and have a look, you don’t need to be a sailor, just a willingness to help others, particularly those with a disability

Volunteers Are Always Welcome

Sailability Pittwater are always looking for volunteers to train in Rescue Boat operation, or to help rig the boats at the beginning of a sailing day, or put them away at the end of the day.We also need volunteers to assist people in and out of the boats, as well as sail with people in our two-seaters.

Sailability cannot function without a dedicated and skilled group of volunteers, as we are fully self- funded, not for profit organisation. It is some of the most satisfying volunteering work around, especially if you enjoy the outdoors.

Our Dinghies

At Rowland Reserve we use mainly Access 303 dinghies, supplemented with an Electric Access 2.3 and Access Breeze 2.3s. The range of Hansa sailcraft were originally designed to appeal to that huge majority of the world’s population who would love to have a go at sailing, but find it too difficult or uninviting to do so To find out more
