Sailability: Meet David James

It may be beach perfect weather for some, but for Sailability, it’s been a few weeks of scorching heat. We haven’t had a session since 15 January 2025.

Here’s a short Q&A with David James, one of our participants who is visually impaired and autistic. He’s blessed with bionic hearing, so much so that he can describe the dolphin’s movement over the noise of the power boat engine! He enjoys powerlifting and loves his dog very much.
