Sailing Opportunities for Bristol & Glos
Tuesday 3rd September 2024
with Sailability at All Aboard Watersports
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We’re delighted to be returning to one of our favourite events – sailing – This is being offered by Sailability at All Aboard Watersports who are waiting to welcome us on Tues 3rd Sept at 10.30am.

AAW are based at  Baltic Wharf, Underfall Yard, Cumberland Road, Bristol, BS1 6XG and on arrival we will meet by the flagpole at the back of the centre.

They have a variety of boats for you to experience the joy, the fun, the exhilaration of sailing such as sailing in adapted dinghies, both single and double-handed.

The boats are designed specifically to meet the needs of our members. With their heavily weighted keels and inbuilt buoyancy, they are very stable. Seated low, and facing forwards, movement within the boat is NOT required. You’ll be able to start sailing these boats immediately, accompanied by an experience sailor cum instructor from the Club. But very soon you can easily sail them on your own.

There is a harbourside hoist to support easy and safe transfer into the boats running from the quayside outside the Cottage Pub next to All Aboard. On arrival we will meet by the flagpole at the back of the centre.

Remember, complete novices and never-evers are more than welcome! And for more experienced sailors there’s a range of other boats also available.

There is wheelchair access to all parts of the Clubhouse and onto the pontoon.

Life Jackets are of course provided, but we suggest that you bring a towel and perhaps a change of clothes – you might get wet!

Don’t worry if you haven’t tried sailing before, there will be plenty of hands-on advice, guidance and instruction.

You don’t need special clothing, anything that is comfortable is OK. Tracksuits and trainers are ideal. But it will always feel cooler on the water, so it’s a good idea to bring an extra layer. As mentioned before a change of clothes is also not a bad idea – just in case…..
