Bulletin Board

It is the end of the Sailing Season, and on behalf of the Trustees of Wealden Sailability, we would like to thank all our Client Sailors, Parents, Guardians, Carers, Care Managers and Schools for showing your continued support for us by coming sailing with us throughout the season, and a big thank you to all our Volunteers who were able to come to our Sailing Days for your help and support, without which we would not have been able to run the regular twice-weekly Sailing Days. We hope everyone enjoyed it, and we look forward to seeing you all again next season.

27th – Sailing on the Solent

What a fab day! The wind was gusting to 38mph, sea very lumpy, Spring tides and sunny. The 40 ft Cat sped along at a top speed of 12 mph. A bit faster than a 303 or Liberty! There were 9 in the group which included Keith, Peter and Derek all of whom had time on the wheel. Thanks to the Disabled Sailors Association who owns the Cat, John, the skipper, and Michael, the volunteer crew.

New Sails for 3 Stratos

West Kent Grand Lodge and the Masonic Charitable Foundation continues to support WS. This time they have generously agreed to donate 3 sets of sails for the Stratos boats. The generosity of West Kent Grand Lodge and the Masonic Charitable Foundation now means that all the 303’s and Stratos boats will have had new sails over the past and coming season.
