The Boats We have a number of boats allowing us to cope with a range of abilities. Our Access dinghies form the backbone, providing a safe yet responsive introduction to being on the water. We have larger boats offering a more stable platform for getting onto the water - and all our activities are monitored closely by our Pioneer Safety Boats.

| Access Liberty's 303s and 203s Liberty and Sport versions of the 303 are single handers, some equipped with servo controls. These are designed for people with disabilities. They are easy to sail, even with limited mobility and great fun too. If you can move an arm, you can sail one of these. With a fleet of more than eight boats we encourage these dinghies to race, providing improved learning, fun and a chance to show off your newly acquired skills. |
