Para sailing hub

Increasing opportunities for disabled sailors to race and train, locally, nationally and internationally
 

It is a level playing field on the water if you are a disabled person passionate about sailing and motivated by competition. The para sailing hub is a network of sailors and organisations, joining forces and doing more together. 

As part of the hub, the RYA is committed to:

  • running a series of webinars for sailors and organisations
  • delivering or facilitating events that provide a focus for the para sailing community, bring new people to racing, bringing para racing to the mainstream and introducing new disciplines to the para racing community
  • supporting organisations who join the hub to deliver on their commitment to grow activity
  • facilitating coaching activity and the development of coaches
  • focussing support where we know there is under-representation - young people, people with learning disabilities for example
  • working with partners to maintain GBR participation at key international events
