Welcome to Sailors with disABILITIES (SWD)

is a not-for-profit organisation committed to changing the way people with a disability regard themselves and changing society’s perception of the disabled.  SWD uses sailing to build confidence and self-esteem of participants whilst learning the thrill of sailing in a team environment. 

SWD provide free sailing and training programs for people with a disability and disadvantaged children, adults and their carers.

We love what we do, we love the service we provide and we love the opportunities we create for people with a disABILITY from all walks of life.

SWD rely on a team of hard working volunteers and the generous support of our members and corporate sponsors to deliver our program free of charge to the community.

SWD love to see the joy on people’s faces as they experience SAILING, often something they never thought they would be able to experience.  Watch our YouTube video to experience the emotion that is Sailors with disABILITIES, then see how you can get involved.
