Mylor Sailability
05 Aug 2015
SOUTH WEST: Paralympic sailor Carol Dugdale has officially opened new facilities at Cornwall’s Mylor Sailability writes Katina Read.
The facilities have been funded by the National Lottery’s Sport England fund together with donations from charities, individuals and Mylor Yacht Harbour.
They consist of new classrooms and changing facilities together with a specially adapted pontoon and a hoist to make sailing more accessible for wheelchair users or those with other severe disabilities.
Now the facilities are up and running Mylor Sailability hopes to create more training days, with the help of further donations and funding, which will allow them to concentrate on a more competitive approach – including some race training for participants.
Mylor Sailing School was founded by Tracey Boyne around 10 years ago, with the Mylor Sailability charity formed in 2013 after high demand for sailing and powerboating activities.
