Dr Davies went to Seaview to visit some of the members and volunteers at Sailability Wellington Trust, which is a sailing club helping people with disabilities experience the sport of sailing. The Trust has developed what will soon be a new class of yacht – the ParAble-Whakatauki. This boat is designed to be simple to sail, safe, and able to be raced. Its main purpose is to make sailing as inclusive as possible, particularly for people with disabilities. Sailability Wellington is the largest of the 10 Sailability Trusts around New Zealand, with 70 volunteers helping their 200 members sail each week.
