What our sailors say:
“Sailing with Visa-gb is like nothing else, it’s very special. Your sight loss is not seen as a barrier and the sighted crew are absolutely great at explaining and letting you have as much hands-on experience as possible their patience is outstanding and they are great company too.“
“The reason why I like sailing with Visa is because you are valued as yourself. We all get a chance to have a go at all aspects of sailing, and no matter how good or bad you are you are never judged or looked down upon by anyone.”
