Access Dinghies
Access Dinghies were designed to appeal to that huge majority of the world's population who would love to have a go at sailing, but find it too difficult or uninviting to do so.
Whether as a recreation, a competition sport, or a therapeutic activity; the Access Dinghy's design features allow total novices of any ability to sail with little or no tuition, nearly regardless of the conditions.
Around the world, Access Dinghies are
introducing whole new communities to sailing. Apart from the development
of revolutionary sailing craft and supportive equipment; Access Dinghy Sailing System also fosters the formation and development of the innovative "accessible sailing" network throughout the world.
History
Developed more than 8 years ago by
Access
Dinghy Sailing Systems in Australia by Chris Mitchell; there is far more to this than little boats and sailing.
Sailing is the ideal catalyst which
brings together members of the whole family and community. It integrates
disability and helps able bodied people understand disability, it
fosters racial harmony, includes minorities and the elderly as well as females,
and involves young children in a clean and natural, environmentally friendly
activity which is good for them, and good for the whole community.
