SAILING VISION TRUST
Events & Technology for Visually Impaired Sailors
Welcome to the Sailing Vision Trust. We are a not-for-profit charitable trust whose aim is to help visually impaired (V.I.) people experience the freedom and empowerment of watersports - especially coastal sailing.
SVT is also a community that brings together visually impaired sailors and would-be sailors with sighted volunteer skippers, crew and helpers. We organise sailing activities, and develop and support technology specifically designed for the visually impaired sailing community.

News
SVT are delighted to confirm that the 2024 Sailing Vision Week will take place from Lymington from Saturday 29 June to Saturday 6 July. The application process will commence in the new year.
Sailing Vision Week
Sailing Vision Week is an inspiring event that takes place each year, giving around 60 blind, partially sighted and visually impaired people the chance to develop sailing skills by crewing aboard cruising yachts.
Technology for V.I. Sailors
As part of our commitment to helping visually impaired sailors get the most from their sailing, the Sailing Vision Trust is helping to create some of the most innovative technology available to the V.I. sailing community.
Resources for V.I. Sailors
We partner with a number of associations and trusts around the UK who provide sailing opportunities for V.I. and disabled sailors.
