Clubhouse
Most Sussex Sailability activities take place at the Shoreham clubhouse of Sussex Yacht club.
The Shoreham clubhouse has been specially adapted to be fully wheelchair accessible. Facilities include:
- Several disabled parking spaces close to the clubhouse and launch rame
- Automatically opening doors with wheelchair friendly push button control
- Level access to the changing and toilet facilities on the ground floor of the SYC clubhouse. This includes a disabled toilet
- A wheelchair lift to the first floor of the SYC clubhouse where there is a bar and restaurant with fabulous views over the Adur River
Getting afloat
Sussex Sailability has specially designed pontoon hoists to enable people who are not able to transfer onto a boat independently to get aboard our boats. All hoists are regularly inspected and operated by trained volunteers
