ABOUT US
OUR STORY
Sailability clubs operate in some 23 countries, including in Australia.
Sailability Bayside was incorporated in 2003, as one of the earliest clubs in Queensland, to provide sailing for people with disability.
We are one of 15 clubs affiliated with Sailability Queensland.
As an all-volunteer association, we rely on the generosity of our clients, our sponsors and from private support and other, including government grants.
We do not pay wages nor commissions.
