The Martin 16 is an easily driven, 16-foot sloop, with a narrow; long hull for performance and control. The cockpit features an adjustable, ergonomically designed helm seat forward, designed for a single sailor, with a second seat aft to accommodate a passenger or instructor. A unique "joystick" controls the responsive, transom-hung rudder. The boat can also be operated using an electronic joystick, or a sip-and-puff system. This boat is ideal for any level from the complete beginner to more advanced sailor.

The Sonar is a 23-foot Paralympic class sloop that can accommodate up to six persons in an open cockpit. The aft skipper seat is designed to transfer from side to side, and the boat is equipped with bars for stability. An optional forward adapted crew seat can also accommodate a sailor with any level of ability. The Canadian Sonar team won a Bronze Medal in both Sydney in 2000 and Rio de Janiero in 2016. The Able Sail Kingston Sonar is equipped with a furling jib and spinnaker.

The 13-foot 2.4 Metre is the single-person Paralympic class in which Paul Tingley won a Gold Medal at Beijing in 2008, the only Gold Medal ever won by a Canadian in any class of sailing. This boat is designed according to the “metre” rule, which makes it highly responsive and maneuverable, and technically challenging for the more advanced sailor.

Kingston's first adapted sailing program is open to anyone who requires some help to accommodate a disability.. No previous sailing experience is required. All that's required is a desire to experience the tremendous feeling of freedom sailing has to offer, and the desire to challenge oneself by trying something new. The program is currently offered to participants with physical disabilities, including participants with hearing or visual impairments. Sonar sailing is offered to anyone who does not have the ability to shift easily from side to side, and it may be booked to accommodate friends and family members of regular program participants.

The "Learn to Sail" program offers supervised sailing instruction which includes both practical on-water sessions and sailing theory. Participants will receive on shore instruction in sailing theory, safety, knots and rigging. Each day participants will enjoy the fun of sailing in a "Martin 16". The instructional curriculum will be based on the Sail Canada standard.
