Travelling to a sailing club in a remote location may pose a problem for someone who can not drive. Public transport may be possible for some but out of the question for others. Disabled sailors must learn to take responsibility for supervising all help with their own boats. Moving around the site is an important consideration. Mud, sand, soft or slippery surfaces are difficult for the less agile.
Rough terrain is hazardous for people with visual impairment.
Moving around the boat must be considered. See Chapter 6 - Adapting Boats. Safety is a concern with disabled sailors as it is with others. A lack of balance, mobility or agility may require extra support, seats, harnesses and lifejackets. Impaired vision may lead to stumbling over an unseen obstruction.
