Sailing For All from Steve Sawford Marine

Access Class Association(UK) www.accessclass.org.uk

Steve Sawford Marine (SSM Ltd) is a small family run company, established by committed sailors, who wish to build their business on the principle of enabling everyone, regardless of ability, mobility, age or financial status to take part in the invigorating sport of sailing.

We are located central to the country, directly on the motorway and rail hub and midway between the two largest UK inland sailing waters. A circle of 100 miles radius takes in the capital city of London as well as the second largest UK city of Birmingham. Extend the circle by 50 miles and it takes in the most populated parts of the south coast, east coast and west coast.

The company, which is a full member of the British Marine Industry Federation, is managed by Steve Sawford, a director skilled in GRP boat building and fitting out to the highest standards. Steve was trained by a market leader in luxury motor cruisers ‘Fairline Boats’ and worked for many years in both boat manufacture and development. Since leaving them to set

up SSM Ltd, the company has produced one of the fastest growing class of boats in the country, the Access range of dinghies of which sales are currently running at around 50 per year. Alongside this Steve's Catermaran and dinghy renovation and repair work has provided up to 25% of the company’s business.

The main product of the company is the Access Dinghy range and its accompanying launching and wheelchair users transfer systems. The designer of these and owner of Access Dinghy Sailing Systems Australia, Chris Mitchell, has entrusted the UK manufacture of the range and its distribution and technical support into our hands. We have set up and enabled the Access Class Association (ACA(UK)) to develop and support the class. All this is financed through our sales.

SSM Ltd also provides a repair and renovation service, particularly to GRP Catamarans, i.e. Dart 15, Dart 18 or similar and dinghies up to about 18ft.
