Events

edit

Three sailing events were held. All were mixed events, meaning that men and women could compete together.

International disability classification in sailing is done by a committee, which gives each competitor a number score with lower numbers corresponding to more severe disability. Sailors were classified under the IFDS Functional Classification System. To take part in Paralympic sailing, an athlete must have a score of 7 or less.

Event Boat Classifications
Open Single-Person Keelboat 2.4mR All sailors are required to have a minimal disability or a higher level of disability as defined in the FCS 2008-12.
Two-Person Keelboat SKUD 18 Crew shall include a female with disability and one severely disabled sailor with a 1-2 point classification.
Open Three-Person Keelboat Sonar The total Sonar crew points shall not exceed 14 points.

The 2-person keelboat (SKUD18) was the only Paralympic class keelboat with a spinnaker, emblazoned with the national flag of each country. Of the 11 countries competing in the SKUD event, all had a female competitor with a disability.
