Remember the last time you walked down the foreshore and saw the sails on the water. It was a beautiful day and you could imagine yourself on the water at the tiller, free before the wind, having fun with family and friends.
Then you thought; "I don't know how to sail" ... "it is too difficult to learn; worse because I am deaf" ...... "deaf people can't sail" ........ "its too expensive" .........
Come on down and have some time on the water with one of Humpybong's experienced sailors or instructors at NO COST. Spend some time with us and find out that those fears are groundless
Spend 20 minutes on the water with us and we can answer all your other questions about sailing ..... learning to sail is fun ..... sailing once you have learned is fun ......... deaf people sail on the same terms and under the same rules, in the same boats as hearing people and there are some great success stories of deaf sailors.
Sailing can be no more expensive than Tiddlywinks (almost) . Talk to Ronald and the team about how we aim to help with the costs associated with sailing through DSQ.
