Sailing

COACH

Speed, strength and smarts are three essential keys to unlocking success in any sport, and Special Olympics sailing is no different. The best sailors develop all three aspects of their racing to their fullest potential.

Special Olympics sailing has training and competition opportunities for individual and teams of Special Olympics athletes; as well as Special Olympics Unified Sports® crews. Special Olympics Unified Sports is a program that combines Special Olympics athletes and athletes without intellectual disabilities (partners) on sports teams for training and competition. In Unified Sports sailing, crews shall be comprised of athletes with and without intellectual disabilities. If the boat is typically raced by a crew of 2, one member will be an individual with intellectual disabilities; if the boat is typically raced by a crew of 3 or more, the majority of the crew shall be individuals with intellectual disabilities.

As in all Special Olympics sports, athletes are grouped in competition divisions according to ability level, age and gender.

Training Location- Rocky Point Park, 1935 Back River Neck Rd, Essex, MD
