Helensburgh Adaptive Sailing Group is a charity dedicated to making sailing accessible to people with disabilities.  The group is based at Helensburgh Sailing Club, and has full access to wheelchair friendly clubhouse, including accessible toilets and showers.  A hoist, and trained operator, is available if required to board the dinghy.

The charity aims to support and develop adaptive sailing by promoting participation, building skills, and boosting confidence.  It offers guidance and encouragement to help individuals gain the ability to sail a very stable boat, whether it be independently, or with a competent buddy.   Furthermore, the group aims to provide access to enjoyment, pleasure and the thrill of being on the water.

Sailing sessions run from May to October, taking place on a Saturday morning from 9.30am to 1pm.  The 2026 dates are:
2nd/16th/30th May,  27th June, 15th & 29th August, 12th & 26th September, 10th October, with an initial training session for helper volunteers.
Sessions are on Saturdays between 10 am and 3 pm. If you want to sail, just turn up! We can cope with all abilities, from complete novice. To get in touch to find out more please contact  the club office who will put you in touch with the HCG committee.
