About Us
Able Sail Manitoba, operating under Disabled Sail Manitoba Inc. is a registered charitable organization. Our Mission is to provide Manitobans with disabilities the opportunity to access and enjoy sailing activities while promoting enhanced independence and community. Our Goals -
To provide sailing opportunities for Manitobans regardless of disability age or economic means -
To provide a unique, enjoyable experience for our participants which includes opportunities for social, recreational, rehabilitative and competitive activities -
To build confidence and self-esteem and enhance independence for people with mobility or other impairments -
To facilitate integration of disabled and able-bodied recreation and competition Our goals, therefore, are both rehabilitative and recreational. Sailing programs across North America have demonstrated that there is a notable increase in self-esteem and confidence when disabled sailors find themselves sailing independently with other, able-bodied, sailors.
