From Sailability Auckland:
WE NEED YOUR HELP to help up to 5 of our Sailability Auckland members to embark on a once in a lifetime experience aboard the Lord Nelson 55m sailing ship. The Lord Nelson may never be in this part of the world again. The barriers faced by people with disabilities make it extremely difficult to spend time cruising the NZ coastline that so many people take for granted. So please support this truly unique once in a life time experience and give a person with a disability some memories to treasure forever.

The Lord Nelson is the only tall ship in the world that caters for both able bodied and physically disabled sailors. Facilities on board the ships include wheelchair lifts between deck levels, a hearing loop, a speaking compass and hydraulic power-assisted steering.
The 9-day voyage departs Auckland on 28 November 2013, this trip will be exploring the area around the north of New Zealand is an awe-inspiring experience. Discovering the beautiful sandy beaches and rocky outcrops on the Bay of Islands, and sailing around the popular Coromandel Peninsula will give you a breath-taking view of how spectacular nature can be.
