Mobility Cup 2017

Mobility Cup 2017

September 11 - 15 at the Kelowna Yacht Club, Kelowna

Canada's International Regatta for Sailors with Disabilities

Mobility Cup is a “regatta of possibility” where personal, social, geographic, technological and organizational barriers are challenged in the spirit of friendly competition. It is international in scope, inviting people from around the globe to participate, for the purpose of excellence, discovery and learning.

The purpose of the Mobility Cup Regatta is to demonstrate that sailing is an inclusive, accessible and integrated sport/recreation available to all persons. Our credo: “ANYONE can sail independently regardless of his or her physical ability or disability”. 

Sailors are divided into two fleets - Gold fleet for more experienced racers and the Silver fleet for newbies and those who are still honing their racing skills. The boat used for the regatta is the Martin 16, a sailboat specially designed for sailors with disabilities. (martin16.com)

The racing area is located directly in front of the club. Spectators can watch the racing from shore at the nearby boardwalk and spectator boats will be arranged to get you closer to the action.
