At Woolverstone, on the River Orwell, a Hawk 20 and a Drascombe Longboat take sailors out on the water three days a week throughout the summer. These sailors usually come in groups and are generally those who will not learn to sail solo. Carers come sailing with the group.

At Alton Water, which is a still water reservoir, there are ten Access Dinghies and two Challengers in which instructors will teach people to sail single handed. For many, this is the ultimate liberation, but plenty of our members go on to become confident sailors and race on a regular basis. There are open meetings all around the country to which people can go.
