Canada's annual international regatta for sailors with disabilities.
Mobility Cup 2010 is open to anyone with a significant physical disability, with places available for novice and experienced racers. It will be held Sept. 13 - 17, in Vancouver, B.C.
Disabled Sailing Association of British Columbia and The Royal Vancouver Yacht Club will host five days of sailing on English Bay, using the adaptive Martin 16 sloop. Racing will be in two classes, divided according to sailing experience.
Sailing allows people with disabilities to enjoy complete independence and freedom, whether as a recreational activity or a competitive high performance endeavor, thanks to assistive technology. It is now one of the fastest-growing sports for people with disabilities.
