The keen competitor
Your ambitions are the only ones that count as it's a level playing field on the water.
Fuel your competitive fire on the race course...there are lots of different boats to race and events to enter close to home or across the world.
Club racing
Racing is about testing your skills against other sailors and the conditions on the day.ÌýYou can race locally and regularly at many Sailability groups andÌýSailingÌýClubs.
The thought of being on the start line can feel a bit daunting initially, but once there you will discover everyone is supporting you and making it round the course is all that matters. Ask an experienced volunteer or instructor to go racing with you and learn as you go.
Winning can come later!
If it’s not happening at your club, why not organise something or contact us to find out where you can race.
