In the charity's own words
Chesil Sailability is dedicated to helping disabled people of all ages to experience sailing, most in specially adapted boats, and to helping them go as far in the sport as their enthusiasm and ability takes them. We are based at the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy and most of our sailors & volunteers live in South Dorset, but we aim to exclude no one who wants to take part!
