The revolutionary Access Breeze is a delight to sail and is so easy to manage that it opens up sailing to everyone. The Access Breeze is designed for that huge majority of the population who would love to have a go at sailing, but find it too difficult to do so. Roto-moulded construction means the Breeze is virtually indestructible.

The Breeze is also the ideal family fun boat. It gives novice sailors instant access to the water as it is nearly impossible to capsize. Carrying two, seated side by side, the Breeze is an inexpensive family fun boat which can be sailed by the whole family, from young children, through to their grandparents. Children, 6 - 10 years old find the stability and ease of sailing an Access Breeze irresistible. It is safe, simple and forgiving.

The safety features of this model are impressive. With its one sail and joystick controls a person with no sailing experience can be sailing confidently in under one hour. The sailors remain seated at all times without the need to hike out or change sides in a tack this keeps the helms weight low which combined with the weighted centre-board type keel makes the boat virtually uncapsizable. The boat is fitted with a fully roller reef-able mainsail which allows the boat to be set up to sail in a broad range of wind conditions and by people with a wide range of sailing abilities. The high boom is kept well away from helms head.

It cannot be overstated that for a person who has limited use of their limbs and few opportunities to sail, to be in a resort, camp, club or family and to be able to have as equal a chance of enjoying sailing success as everyone else is an incredibly empowering and liberating experience.

Note: The stability of an Access Dinghy relies on the body weight of a sailor being kept low in the boat, thereby lowering the centre of gravity. The maximum combined weight of two sailors in a Breeze is 120 kg / 275 lbs. The extra weight is permissible as the centre of gravity of two sailors is presumed to be lower than a single sailor of the same combined weight.
