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.
