@ Tranmere Sailing Club, 4 Bedford Road East, Rock Ferry, Wirral, CH42 1LS.
Come along to meet us, find out what we do and how to join in with our activities.
BLIND OR VISUALLY IMPAIRED SAILORS
We promote the participation in sailing of blind and partially sighted people in the North of England and North Wales. We provide suitable safety equipment and waterproof clothing, as well as training for our members. This means you can take part with little or no experience. As long as you have a reasonable level of fitness and are aged 18 plus, sailing is a very accessible sport to all Visually Impaired people.
92% of the visually impaired people we surveyed believed that sailing promotes team work with 89% of people agreeing it increases a person's confidence and self reliance. Only 56% of people believe sailing to be physically demanding.
SIGHTED HELMS & CREW
We are always looking for volunteers with an experienced sailing background willing to assist in our sailing events. Our Volunteers are our greatest asset and we will offer you all support and guidance you need to carry out your role. This can be an extremely rewarding and enjoyable experience.
OTHER VOLUNTEERS
We are always grateful for any other and all volunteers including eg.
