Sailability Victoria

Sailability Victoria We are focused on supporting existing programs and growing participation & increasing opportunites for sailors of all abilities to develop in this sport.

Sailability was established in Australia by the Victorian Yachting Council in 1991. By 2000, Sailability Victoria had been incorporated as a not-for-porfit charitable organisation while countinuing to operate as a committee of Yachting Victoria. At that time Yachting Victoria provide a part-time Sailability Coordinator and a mobile unit of four Acccess (Hansa) Boats an Safety RHIB supporting just four Sailability Programs. Sailability Victoria amalgamated with Sailing for Everyone in 2003, including an additional four programs. From this we have now grown to 24 programs around the State offering sailing experiences to many sailors of all ages, abilities and backgrounds, enabling them to become involved in sailing and their local sailing club.
