Reinstate sailing as a sport in the 2020 Paralympic Games!

The Issue

#ReinstateSailing

On the 31st January 2015, the International Paralympic Committee announced the sports that would take place in the 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Games - sailing wasn't one of them.

Sailing is so widely participated in and offers such a physical, technical and tactical challenge. Team GBR won the first ever Paralympic Sailing Gold Medal in 1996 - it has been a lifeline to some people and it really should be in the Paralympic Games!

There is still one space left for a sport in the 2020 games, and we believe Paralympic Sailing deserves it!
