Sailability was set up by the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) to ensure that adults and children with any form of disability have the opportunity to get afloat.

Today RYA Sailability is the leading national charity for disabled sailing in the UK with over 15,000 sailors benefiting from its activities. RYA Sailability is considered to be the most active sailing organisation for people with disabilities in the world, there being over 200 clubs in the UK alone.
