Foyle Sailability Event

foylesailability250

Over 100 people with disabilities went sailing over two days in Derry City Centre on 16/17/05/13

They were helped by members of Lough Foyle Yacht Club, Lough Swilly Yacht Club and Moville Boat Club.

The weather also helped, it was a beautiful day on Friday and everyone had a great time.

Foyle Sailability hope that this event and similar events can be repeated in the future. Foyle Sailability could not put on this event without the magnificent support from Belfast Sailability.
