The Disabled Sailors Association (DSA) is dedicated to making sailing genuinely accessible to all. Since 1993, we’ve enabled more than 50,000 people with disabilities to take to the water - offering people the chance to build confidence, independence and practical sailing skills through direct participation or simply by enjoying the experience of being at sea.

Operating from Port Solent on the South Coast, the DSA delivers over 1,000 sailing opportunities each year aboard its purpose‑built, wheelchair‑friendly yachts. Every voyage is hands‑on, designed so participants can experience the exhilaration of sailing first‑hand.

To continue expanding access, we’re currently building the DSA Dazcat 1500 - a pioneering, fully wheelchair‑accessible catamaran designed from the keel up for inclusivity. Due for completion in 2027, the vessel will double our capacity and allow us to offer over 2,000 sailing experiences annually, including coastal voyages around the UK.

We work with partners, sponsors and maritime innovators who share our vision of equality through opportunity. Together, we’re setting new standards in accessible yacht design and proving that sailing can be for everyone.
