Wetwheels South West has been launched

Congratulations, and very best wishes, to the entire Wetwheels family on the successful launch of Wetwheels South West - a specially-built, accessible powerboat that is already offering the opportunity for disabled people in Devon and Cornwall to get on the water.

Wetwheels South West in Falmouth is the sixth local operator in the Wetwheels network, following Solent in Portsmouth, Jersey, Hamble, South East in Dover, and Yorkshire in Whitby. This launch expands the reach of the charity further, to benefit even more people who are usually excluded from active leisure activities due to their impairments or medical conditions. Wetwheels is a great organisation that I would urge you to get to know, if you aren’t already familiar with them.

I feel very proud to have played a part in this project during my time at Wetwheels, and know just how much work goes into getting each boat from the idea stage, to being funded, built, launched, tested, and operating.

To everyone involved, ‘bravo!’
