The Trustees have concluded that it is prudent to designate funds to provide for the replacement of both power boats and both of the pontoons when they reach the end of their useful lives.
a Pioner Safety Boat – "Jaffa"
The current cost of replacing the power boat is in the region of £23,000 and it’s engine is £10,000
A reserve of £10.000 has been made towards their replacement

The second Pioner Multi "Tango" was aquired early in 2019 and the current cost of replacement of the power boat is in the region of £23,000 and the engine £10.000. This power boat should last around 20 years and its motor may need replacing in the next few years. A reserve of £10,000 been made toward the cost of their replacement.

TRUSTEES' REPORT
Organisational structure:
New Forest Sailability (NFS) was registered by the Charity Commission of England and Wales on 15th October 2024 and is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation governed by its constitution and administered by the trustees. It has taken over the operation of all the activities previously carried on by New Forest and District Sailability.
Charity's objectives and activities:
To provide and assist in the provision of sailing and other water based activities in Hampshire and the surrounding area for people with disabilities and mental health conditions in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving the condition of their lives.
The charity's activities towards this objective are the provision of dinghy sailing on two days a week during the sailing season of April to October. These activities normally include sailing instruction for beginners and advanced sailors, skipper led sails, assistance with taking part in competitive races and trips for sailors in one of the power boats, all within the safe confines of the lake on the edge of the New Forest. In addition, the charity provides dinghies and assistance to member sailors to enable them to take part in competitive races at other Sailability centres.
Achievements and performance
This year we were able to run normal sailing activities throughout the whole season. Our sailor and volunteer numbers have remained similar to last year. The trustees have continued to try to attract new sailors and volunteers.
We held a National Hansa TT event in May this year and, with the help of many of our volunteers, this was an extremely successful and enjoyable event. We also held a lunch for our sailors and volunteers to celebrate the 25[th] Anniversary of the formation of New Forest and District Sailability.
Financial Review
This is the first year of operation for New Forest Sailability. NFS received a transfer from New Forest and District Sailability on 2nd August 2025 of £56,930 cash and fixed assets valued at £43,445 which included all their dinghies and power boats, both pontoons, the shed and all their sailing equipment.
The daily sailing fee and membership subscription remained unchanged.
Total receipts amounted to £15,953. Adding the NFDS receipts of £3,308 gives combined 2024-25 receipts for both charities of £19,261 compared with £20,936 for the previous financial year. This decrease resulted mainly from a reduction in donations, membership subscriptions and sailing fees received.
The unrestricted cash funds on 31st October 2025 amounted to £69,211
There is a fund designated for the specific purpose of the replacement of the existing power boats and the main pontoon and landing pontoon when they reach the end of their useful lives. It is anticipated that this expenditure will be in approximately 5 – 15 years time. More details are set out in the notes to these accounts.
Recruitment and appointment of new Trustees:
Whilst one-third of trustees are required to retire each year, all of those currently retiring have indicated their willingness to be reappointed and it is expected that all the remaining trustees will stay in office for the forthcoming year. Potential new trustees are encouraged to apply for appointment at each AGM and, when relevant, the existing trustees carry out their training.
Public Benefit
In undertaking the activities of the last twelve months, the Trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in deciding what activities should be undertaken. Through adherence to the objectives the charity has diligently and purposefully fulfilled its obligations.
DECLARATION
The trustees have approved the Trustees' Report above.
