Sailors with disABILITIES is a Sydney based non-profit organisation that teaches sailing and yacht racing to children and adults the physical, intellectual, mental and financial disadvantages.
SWD has taken part in 16 Rolex Sydney to Hobart yacht races, winning its division in the tragic 1998 event. SWD founder David Pescud was at the helm then and in 2003 when the yacht Kayle set the world record for a non-stop, unassisted circumnavigation of Australia in 3 days 1 hour.
Our Year 12 student Grace Kennedy is a participant with Sailors with disABILITIES.
