We organize professional training for boaters with disabilities. In this sport, athletes with physical (but not mental) disabilities, including those with motor disabilities, with cerebral palsy, and visually impaired, can take part. The main governing body of adaptive sailing is the International Foundation for Disabled Yachtsmen - IFDS, which works closely with the International Sailing Federation (ISAF). The Functional Classification System (FCS) developed by IFDS is based on four factors: • stability, • hand functionality, • mobility, and • vision. The classification is carried out by the classification commission, which assigns the athlete a class corresponding to the format of the races in which he / she participates, and depending on the format, a yachtsman can have several classes: The lower the class number - the more severe physical disabilities, so class 1 is assigned for the most severe forms of disability. and depending on the format, a yachtsman can have several classes. To participate in the Paralympic Games, an athlete must have a class not higher than 7. (The full version of the latest edition of the classification system for 2009 - 2012 is available on the IFDS website.) Sailing races consist of several races, each of which is carried out on a round-trip basis, while the yacht goes through several stages - downwind and upwind. Yachtsmen score points in accordance with the position they take in each race, for example, for the first place - one point, for the second - two, etc. The winner is the team with the fewest points and the least penalties. At the Paralympic Games in Beijing, competitions were held in three mixed categories. “Mixed” means that men and women compete together. Moreover, the class of twos (SKUD18) was included in the program for the first time. • Yachts with keel for one person - 2.4mR. All boaters must have the class of 7 or lower, which is determined according to FCS. • Yachts with keel for two people - SKUD18. The team must include one woman and one yachtsman of the class 1. • Yachts with a keel for three people - Sonar - The total number of points, defined as the sum of the classes of all three team members, must not exceed 14.
