Sailing Vision Trust

Calling all Skippers!

Each year during Sailing Vision Week we need as many skippers and vessels as possible to help meet ever-expanding requests for crew placements. 

Can you help us bring the joy of sailing to the visually impaired?

Fun, educational, and genuinely rewarding

Being a Sailing Vision Week skipper is an amazing experience. Spending a week on the water with a crew of mixed sighted and visually impaired sailors delivers a wealth of new experiences and introduces you to some genuinely inspiring people.  Helping people experience the joy and empowerment of coastal sailing is an experience that our skippers say is something not to be missed - and that's not to mention the fun to be had during the social events when the sailing is over for the day!

We'd love to have as many skippers and boat owners joining us for SV Week as we can. If you'd like to participate please email at mail@sailingvision.org.
