CLYC Presented with RYA Sailability Accreditation

CLYC getting presented RYA Sailability accreditation Sunday 21-Sep-14 by Richard Burgess of Carlingford Lough Sailability and Bob Harper of RYA Sailability

"Through RYA Sailability over 40,000 young people and adults with disabilities are introduced to sailing per year, and many go on to sail on a regular basis. Sailing is one of the very few sports in which able-bodied sailors and disabled sailors can participate on equal terms. Imagine the thrill of sailing for people who can feel and hear but have no sight, or of sailing a boat at speed even though they can't walk, or of joining in a sport where deafness doesn't matter. Sailability continues to encourage and support people with disabilities to take up the sport and facilitate sites to develop sailing opportunities.” (http://www.rya.org.uk/programmes/ryasailability)
