Disabled Sailors Association

RoRo Ltd
53 Wych Lane Gosport
Hampshire
PO13 OTA

Tel: 07734 246 385
Web: www.disabledsailing.org

The Disabled Sailors Association actively promotes and advertises sailing for disabled people as much as possible and in as many diverse ways as possible to attract new people into the sport. With its Ro-Ro Sailing Project, it is involved in the development of special sailing craft to be accessible for those in wheelchairs and with other disabilities so that disabled people can actually participate in sailing and not just be 'taken for a ride'.

The Association has specially adapted yachts, the Verity K and Scott Bader both based in Portsmouth, which are available to any disabled person or group with sufficient qualifications and acceptable to the charter manager.

For further details of this and other activities, please visit the website or contact the above address.

PS - Health and Poverty

Perhaps the biggest cause of ill health in the world is poverty. Help to Make Poverty History. For example, why not lend some of your money to disadvantaged communities to enable them to trade their way out of poverty through schemes such as Shared Interest.

See also MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY North East for details and links to campaigns against poverty.
