Adaptive sailing

Adaptive sailing takes place daily during the summer from the Esplanade in Boston. Mercury and Sonar sailboats are provided, with adaptations as needed.

Adaptive sailing

Learn to sail with Community Boating, Inc. on the Esplanade at the Charles River Reservation. Modified Keel Mercuries, dedicated staff assistance, and sailing instruction are all provided. Adaptive seating with harnesses and belts, modified steering devices, and a Hoyer lift are also available. The programs runs from late spring to early autumn on afternoons and weekends. 

You can use adaptive seats and steering while sailing. 

Sailors can reserve 75-minute sailing lessons or guided recreational sails that are customized to meet your needs. If you sign up for lessons, you can track your progress and get rated on the various vessels. You can also take part in group sailing classes and competitive races. For more information and to schedule a sail, visit the Community Boating Accessible Sailing webpage. 

This is a UAP supported program. It takes place on a DCR property, but is run independently by Community Boating, Inc.
