Sailing with Disabilities - Accessible Sailing

The Academy has been developed with access for all in mind. Whilst being the training base of choice for the British Sailing Team Paralympic squad the same facilities are open to all sailors with disabilities.

The site and building is fully accessible to wheelchair users with a lift at either end of the building

All changing facilities are fully accessible whilst a special needs changing area caters for those needing additional assistance.

All signage around the building is tactile and subtitled in Braille and there is a portable induction loop for use within the building.

Extra wide pontoon fingers were installed to ease wheelchair access and hydraulic hoists are situated on several pontoons.

“I love training in Weymouth Bay and Portland Harbour as they offer a wide range of sailing conditions. The Weymouth & Portland National Sailing Academy is an unbeatable venue for disabled sailors with new, purpose-built, facilities. For example, there are disabled access hoists on the pontoons, providing the safest access to tidal waters for people with disabilities anywhere in the UK. I don’t know of any other sailing venue where the needs of sailors of all abilities are so well catered for.” - Helena Lucas MBE, Paralympic Gold Medalist
