Sailing
Sailability Auckland provides instruction for beginners through to Paralympic level. Many types of boats are available, inluding Access 2.3 dingies, Access 303, Access Liberties, 2.4mR and the Paralympic class SKUD 18. A sailing simulator is available for both new and experienced sailors. The simulator has been an effective method of instruction, especially for people who are new to sailing and may lack confidence initially. Sailing is non–gender specific.
Classification
Sailing is a multi–disability sport where athletes from all the disability groups compete together. The system is based entirely on the functions required to compete in sailing. Athletes are allocated a class based on points ranging from 1 point (most limited functional ability), through to 7 points (the highest level of functional ability).
