Sailor/Dinghy Skipper

Become a Volunteer Skipper with Testwood Lakes Sailability!

Help people of all abilities experience the freedom of sailing.

Testwood Lakes Sailability (TLS) is a volunteer-run charity offering dinghy sailing to anyone with a disability. We operate from April and October each year — and we’re looking for more Volunteer Sailors/Dinghy Skippers to join our crew.

As a Volunteer Skipper, you will:

• Support all aspects of our on-shore operations and help train others in key tasks.
• Take sailors out on the water for safe, enjoyable sessions.
• Tailor each outing to the sailor’s needs — from teaching sailing skills to simply giving them the joy of being on the water.
• Sign off progress in the Sailability Program booklet for sailors who are learning to sail.

No two sessions are the same — and the impact is huge.

If you’re up for sharing your love of the water and supporting others to experience it too, we’d love to hear from you.
