Adapting to Needs

Sailing is a thrilling sport that is accessible to everyone. NSC has adaptive sailing programs and accessible Martin 16 sailboats for individuals with physical disabilities. Our Able Sail programs cater to all levels of sailors from never sailed to competitive racers. The Martin 16 is a small keelboat with specialized control systems to fit the needs of sailors with any level of physical disability. Nepean Sailing Club facilities and site are fully accessible.
