Volunteering

What could be better than getting out into the fresh air and enabling our disabled members (sailors) to enjoy the wonderful sport of sailing? Add a great bunch of people, a beautiful location like Spinnaker Lake, and you have the makings of a fantastic day out. This is what our volunteers experience throughout the season.

Being a volunteer with New Forest & District Sailability (NFDS) is a rewarding, satisfying and fun experience. You don't have to be able to sail, but if you want to learn we can teach you. We need volunteers for a whole range of duties including:

  • Meeting and greeting our disabled members, who we refer to as sailors
  • Fitting sailors with buoyancy aids
  • Making teas
  • Chatting with our sailors and making them feel part of the team
  • Rigging and de-rigging boats
  • Helping our sailors into and out of boats
  • Using hoists
  • Crewing and helming for our sailors
  • Driving the power boat
  • Training
  • Repairing equipment
  • Fund raising
  • Admin tasks

We welcome people from all backgrounds and walks of life, those with a disability, and people who are able-bodied but want to do something worthwhile. Our volunteers and sailors make our club the success that it is; so why not
