About Sailability Tauranga
We are a registered not-for-profit Charitable Trust established in 2016 by a group of experienced sailors and compassionate citizens.
OUR GOAL is to share the joy and fun of sailing with people living with disability.
OUR MISSION is to provide anyone with a disability the opportunity to sail safely, experience adventure and freedom. We help build new skills, self-confidence and pride through achievement in an inclusive environment.
OUR SAILORS are anyone in the Bay of Plenty Region who lives with any kind of disability - physical, learning or sensory - from school age to seniors.
