Celebrating inclusivity and excellence
Published on September 25th, 2025
Adaptive sailors have traveled west for the 2025 U.S. Para Sailing Championship on September 26-28 in Coronado, CA. US Sailing’s premier adaptive sailing event will host racing in the Hansa 303 for singlehanded with limited abilities and the Martin 16 for skippers with limited abilities and a safety companion with or without limited abilities.
First established in 1986 as the U.S. Independence Cup, the event became US Sailing’s national championship for sailors with disabilities in 1989. Today, the U.S. Para Sailing Championship continues that legacy, celebrating inclusivity and excellence in sailing.
