CVSS is a registered charity based at Rickmansworth Aquadrome, providing sailing and katakanuing for people of all ages with various disabilities. We are staffed entirely by volunteers who enjoy the social experience, pleasure of sailing, and most importantly - helping others. CVSS has been helping people with disabilities get out on the water since March of 2001.

We use specialised boats and equipment to ensure a wide array of disabilities are catered for including autism, physical health conditions, sensory difficulties, amputees, stroke victims, learning disabilities, diabetics, and mental health conditions. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with any questions you might have about the equipment and experience we provide.

We share facilities with the Rickmansworth-based Bury Lake Young Mariners (BLYM). We use BLYM's safety boats to monitor and assist our sailors out on the water. This ensures sailors of all levels of experience can enjoy their time on the water safely.

We are part of 'Sailability' - the RYA’s national programme enabling people with disabilities to try sailing and take part regularly. We hold affiliation with the Royal Yachting Association, the governing body for sailing in the UK.
