Sailability and my life
Words Peace Chan
I had my first taste of sailing in 2003. I remember the weather
was not good; the wind was strong and the sea was choppy.
I was worried if I could get into the boat at all, as I didn’t
know how to swim. As a passenger, I sat on the dinghy and
felt the excitement of the boat leaning and speeding across
the water. I have always remembered this feeling since.
In 2011, I was diagnosed to have brain cancer. I realised
my end was looming. Children Cancer Fund knew that I had
this little dream and invited me to take the dinghy sailing
course offered by Sailability at Hebe Haven Yacht Club.
