The Woolverstone Project provides sailing opportunities and tuition for those with disabilities with sailing throughout the year at Alton Water and during the summer months at Woolverstone on the River Orwell. Volunteers are on hand to take the sailors out on the water, help the sailors in and out of the dinghies and to provide refreshments during the sessions. The Woolverstone Project has been providing sailing opportunities for 20 years and with the help of our volunteers and sponsors we continue to run these sessions.
We are a registered charity – charity number 1046098. We are called the East Anglian Sailing for persons with disabilities trust. We provide sailing opportunities and tuition for those with disabilities with sailing throughout the year at Alton Water and during the summer months at Woolverstone on the River Orwell.
The Woolverstone Project was founded by the Royal Harwich Yacht Club in 1993 – the year of their 150th Anniversary. Two years later the project became a registered charity it was no longer able to remain a sub committee of the club and so the Club elected it as an Associate Member. 2015 therefore marked the 20th Anniversary of the project becoming a charity.
