RYA Sailability is the national organising charity for disabled sailing. Its mission is to promote and co-ordinate active participation by people with disabilities in the sailing community. It is a national organisation and membership is open to anyone who shares its aims. RYA Sailability has forged a new and innovative programme which will have a significant impact on the sport of sailing.
Northampton Sailability offers facilities for disabled people to enjoy a wide variety of sailing activities, ranging from joy-rides around Pitsford reservoir to teaching to Royal Yachting Association (RYA) standards in dinghy and keelboat sailing.
It is with great regret that we have to announce that Harry, our Chairman and dearest friend, passed away on April 10th
Harry was diagnosed with cancer of the bile duct only a matter of weeks ago. It is a rare form of cancer and although Harry had been experiencing pain for a considerable period it was diagnosed too late for any treatment to be effective.
As far as Sailability is concerned we have lost someone who had become the lynchpin of our organisation and it will be extremely difficult to replace him. He will be sorely missed by a great many people who regarded him as a good friend always ready to help whenever he could.
Our thoughts go out to Mary and her family at this difficult and sorrowful time.
