Accessible sailing for all ages & abilities at Carsington Water.

We’re a volunteer-run charity dedicated to providing and supporting water-based activities at Carsington and the surrounding area for people with disabilities and mental health conditions.

Through adapted equipment, expert support, and a welcoming community, we make sailing accessible, inclusive, and life-changing — improving wellbeing, building confidence, and enriching lives both on and off the water.
