Sailability dinghies on Oulton Broad

Waveney Sailability provides sailing for the diasbled. What a great opportunity for them!

 

Access/Hansa Dinghies are self righting ballasted shallow draft drop-keel dinghies, with "roller-reefing, forward facing seats for comfort, a bucket seat is an additional option for those needing lateral support and joy stick for single handed control. The low freeboard allows for easy access for ambulant people and those requiring a hoist."

 

I tried one as a guest a couple of times. Steering with a joystick is counter-intuitive if you have steered often with a tiller.

 

Here they are at the start of a race at the end of Oulton Week.
