Founded in 2009 and with our official opening day in 2010, 'Sailability Hong Kong Limited' was formed to provide the opportunity for anyone irrespective of ability, age, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation or from low socio economic backgrounds / under represented areas of our community.  Whether aged 7 or 90+, we believe that sailing increases communication, self-confidence, independence, responsibility and self-esteem whilst learning and having fun.

​

Our programmes have evolved to accommodate anyone wishing to sail irrespective of the many life challenges we now witness within our community. Sailor and volunteer numbers are rising each year as we engage with more areas of the community and offer the opportunity to sail with us. We are now conducting in excess of 5,000 individual sailing lessons, weather permitting, each year. 

From November 2009 to the end of December 2024 our individual sailing numbers reached  28,206 of which 17,100 were sailors with disability. Our other sailors come from additional under represented areas of our Hong Kong community as mentioned above.

​

In line with World Sailing's Strategic Plan we continue to develop our programmes, engage with more people, offering structured/certified courses and/or recreational fun sailing for; the hearing and visually impaired, people with spinal injuries, brain injuries, muscular dystrophy and mental wellness groups etc. In addition, we are now offering programs for seniors, our ethnic community and those on low income - many of whom never thought this would be possible.

​

As our programs continue to make an impact we work towards promoting the life changes we see as we 'make sailing; a therapeutic, inclusive and accessible sport available to EVERYONE'.
