Belfast Lough Sailability has seven of these great little two-person keelboats, named: Freedom (blue), Freemew (green), Free Spirit (red), Pinky (pink), Purply (purple, Sunny (yellow) and
In August 2015 BLS hosted the 3rd Hansa 303 Irish Championship, and will host the 5th edition in July 2017.
As part of World Sailings drive to get sailing back into the Paralympics for 2024, a November 2016 World Sailing re-jig of proposed Paralympic classes (in which the Skud 18 and Sonar classes dropped out) saw the Hansa 303 included as a Para World Sailing events class with a chance of being selected for the Paralympics. So BLS remains well placed to continue to offer a sailing pathway for people living with disabilities that runs from simply having fun messing about in boats all the way to going for gold.
