2022  - and we are on the water.  We have a full programme of sailing events on the River Mersey throughout the sailing season.  We have an exciting trip to Lake Windermere in September and we have regular social events for all to partake in.

2021 - We are back on the water after facing the challenges of the Covid pandemic which have been many and varied especially for visually impaired people who have suffered the intensity of isolation.  We were also very pleased to find a new base at Tranmere Sailing Club.  The club has warmly welcomed our members into a safe and friendly environment where we can relax and enjoy our sailing activities.


2020 - Unfortunately due to the Covid pandemic, sailing was cancelled for UKNBSA.  We had to be safe but during these most difficult times, we remained united together.  We kept our group together and made sure we were all alright.
We are pleased to announce a significant funding award from the Postcode Community Trust which has enabled us during the present restrictions on all outdoor activities to team up with Tom Walker who contributes to the BBC Radio 4 programme "In Touch" to provide you with an interesting podcast on how to get into sailing. You will find the first of these on our Podcast page. Just copy the link into your browser and sit back. We hope you enjoy listening and will be inspired to get in touch with us on 07793543529

2019
 was yet another enjoyable sailing season for our crews. We had a full season on the Mersey, participating in the Royal Mersey Yacht Club racing calendar. As in previous years we took "Mermerus"--seen here in the photos-- to the Menai Straits Regatta for the first two weeks of August. ​
