Sailing is one of very few sports in which having a physical disability does not have to be a disadvantage. Through its adaptive sailing programme, The Even Keel Project will give both the able bodied and disabled the opportunity to participate together in a sailing activity that would otherwise be normally outside their reach.
The project's philosophy stems from the importance of accessibility, the idea of breaking down barriers and creating a fun and functional environment that will increase participation.

As its name suggests, Sail 4 Cancer raises money through sailing and related activities to help improve the quality of life for cancer patients and their families. This is achieved mainly through the provision of respite days, the majority of which are linked to the water and its therapeutic powers. At a time when everything seems focussed around illness, these opportunities enable families to swap hospital appointments and treatment for quality time together, reviving spirits, rebuilding shattered confidence and creating treasured memories. The amazing feedback the charity receives is testament to the difference these opportunities are making to people's lives.
