Sailability Hong Kong

We offer bi-lingual sailing lessons and coaching to those having either a physical or learning difficulties. We have previously trained a team to represent Hong Kong in the Asian Para Games in 2014 (winning a Bronze Medal) and this year we will be participating in the Open World Championships in Finland and the IFDS Worlds in Australia - the latter being a qualifying race series for the Brazil Paralympics. In addition, we are now developing a number of young sailors with a view to represent Hong Kong in the 'Special Olympics'. It our belief that sailing is a sport where those with a disability can compete very favourably with the more able bodied. In addition, it is widely believed that sailing helps develop self esteem, confidence, self reliance and independence.
