If you had a competitive nature but you were HAMPERED
because an accident or illness had caused a DISABILITY
Would you be tempted to THINK
that you could take up a SPORT
And go to friendly yacht clubs where like-minded FRIENDS
would share the feeling that sailing gives of FREEDOM
Stoppress: For UK sailors, the IFDS International Multihull Championships, to be held in Challengers at Rutland in August, are taking shape. Because it is endorsed by IFDS (and is effectively a world championship) we are required to have a qualifying system. For UK sailors, the top 5 in the Challenger National Ranking List will be seeded. Also, the English Championships at Farmoor, Oxford, will be used as a qualification event. The top 5 overall (excluding the top 5 names in the Ranking List) at Oxford will also be seeded. Everyone taking part in the International must have an IFDS disability classification and there will be a National Classifier physiotherapist in attendance at Oxford. She will test anyone who does not have a classification.
