Overview

The purpose of the Para World Sailing Classification system is to measure the sailor’s ability in order to:

• Enable fair and equitable competition at all levels;
  In some formats, encourage crews of mixed classification to compete together and complement each other’s disability;
  Only measure functional limitations caused by physical capability;
  Not be affected by the sailing skills, training or talent of the participant.

The Para-Classification Rules of World Sailing apply to all athletes and athlete support personnel who participate in any events or competitions organised, authorised or recognised as a Para Sailing Event.
