Our Plans

Our past sailing successes

Since 2009, when Visa-gb was founded,  we have delivered a range of sailing opportunities from running on 1 or 2 trips in the early years to running a 6 boat flotilla in 2014 in Scotland, 6 trips in 2017.  In 2019 we delivered over 250 sailing days to individuals, including a four boat flotilla in Blind Week, a week’s discovery and development in Dorset plus a two boat bonanza in Majorca. Just before Covid we ran 14 weeks sailing events.  Just after Covid we ran a further 6 trips including our Sea Vision event, which lasted two weeks and for the first time we ran days sails for new sailors, three boat flotilla in Milford and four boat flotilla in Scotland. We have also taken part in the Round the Island Race twice.

Since then we have continued to take part in the Sailing Vision Trust’s (previously Blind Week) annual events and sailed in Wales, Scotland, Menorca and Mallorca. We have also run some training sailing events for new sighted volunteers to help them support visually impaired people.

We will continue to deliver as many trips as we can, subject to funding.
