The Disabled Sailors Association (DSA) is hunting for youngsters who are keen for an adventure at sea but who may have been put off by their disability.
The association supports people with hidden disabilities, visual impairments, people on the autistic spectrum, amputees, and many other complex needs.
Mike Wood, the organisation's chairman, said the activities could have a life-changing impact on young people and was keen to get more people involved.
Mike said the Paralympics and Team GB's performance was continuing to inspire more disabled people into sport - and that he was keen to capitalise on this new wave of enthusiasm.
The yachts have run to nearly full capacity for over 25 years, with over 40,000 people having sailed on the specially equipped boats. Participants will have the opportunity to experience a ride around the harbour, as well as the chance to control the yacht, with all facilities fully accessible.
The DSA are determined to make it their mission to enable disabled sailors to have the best possible sailing experience.
