Sailing class for Day Centre users with disabilities

vaixell-adaptat-escola-vela-foThe Sport department of the Consell de Formentera reports that beginners' sailing classes will be offered to individuals at the dependent care facility this July and August. The once-weekly classes will be held Fridays, imparted by workers at the Municipal Sailing School (EMV).

Organisers hope participants will come away knowing how to operate a boat on their own. Sports councillor Paula Ferrer stressed that the initiative, which is put together with help from the social welfare office, “is about making sure that service users at the Formentera Day Centre can benefit from the infrastructure and resources we have at our disposal”. “Summer is a great time to get outdoors and in the water, making people's day-to-day a little better”, said the councillor.

In 2017, Formentera's council purchased a specially-equipped, accessible boat for people with functional diversity. The 12-person watercraft is used by the EMV. Obra Social “la Caixa” helped fund the purchase.
