Friends, Amis, Amigos, Amici,

We are delighted to announce that Phil and the crew at Carsington Sailability will be waiting to welcome you at the expansive Carsington Water, in the glorious dales near Ashbourne, Derbyshire.

Wednesday 11th September 2024 – Arrival time 10.30am – approx. 2.00pm.

Carsington Water is set in the beautiful Peak District, with its natural setting forming the perfect backdrop for a fantastic sailing experience.

The fully accessible stone-built clubhouse has large, warm changing rooms with hot showers, as well extensive catering facilities, where both hot and cold food is served. There is ample car parking and the Clubhouse has a large balcony area with superb views over the water and the surrounding countryside.

The Club will provide several boats for you to experience the joy, the fun, the exhilaration of sailing. From the small Hansa 303 to inspire confidence, to some of the larger boats, Carsington aim to provide enough variety for everyone!

So complete novices and never-evers are more than welcome. And for more experienced sailors there are some craft that will test your mettle!

There is a friendly team of instructors and experienced sailors at the club who will welcome you whatever your level of expertise.

There are hoists available if needed, for assisting people into and out of boats. Buoyancy aids are provided for all sailors, and 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.

And remember that with Sportability anyone within our remit can participate free of charge.

You don’t need special clothing, anything that is comfortable is OK. Tracksuits are ideal, but any casual trouser, jeans, tee-shirts and sweatshirts or fleeces are fine. It will always feel cooler on the water, so it is a good idea to bring an extra layer. As mentioned before a change of clothes is also not a bad idea and a change of footwear – just in case.

So just to recap on those details:
