OUR VOLUNTEERS

You can make a difference as a volunteer with us at Sailability Shorncliffe.

Sailability provides an outlet for on-water activities, particularly sailing for people with disability of all ages. Our reward can be seen in the smiles on our sailors’ faces while they enjoy their sail or cruise with us.

Volunteering takes on many roles. You could be involved with –

• administration, things like record keeping, booking registrations and coordinating the sailing program;

• assisting on the dock, also in launching and retrieving dinghies;

• skippering our dinghies or support boat or as crew;

• acting as officer in charge of activities on a sailing day; and

• helping out with maintenance of boats and equipment.

You do not need experience as training will be provided. You will need to have a blue card or equivalent before you start with us (we’ll help you with this). If you are to skipper our support boat or pontoon boat, a recreational marine driver’s licence is required.

If you think you’d like to join our team, providing special things for special people, then Sailability might be for you. So contact us and we’ll be in touch.

In the meantime, have a look at our Volunteer Registration form that you will be asked to fill out and submit on your first day.
