Paralympic Sailing

Paralympic Sailing, also known as Para sailing, is a competitive sport for sailors with disabilities. It involves navigating a sailboat, typically a high-performance keelboat, in races on designated courses. Athletes may have physical impairments that affect movement, balance, or mobility, and the boats are adapted with modifications like specialized equipment or crew configurations to accommodate their needs. The sport emphasizes skill, strategy, and teamwork, offering different classifications based on the level of impairment. Paralympic Sailing promotes inclusivity and showcases athletes' expertise in a challenging maritime environment.
