Over a decade ago, an incredible Italian sailor pioneered an innovative system allowing blind sailors to navigate the race course independently. Today, this system is used worldwide, enabling visually impaired sailors to compete and excel in the sport of sailing.
Team Great Britain has been at the forefront of this movement, securing Gold at the last three World Championships. Their skill, determination, and teamwork have will see two teams looking to inspire, again Lucy, Sharon, and Judith, and Sally, Martin, and Karl showcasing their talent on the international stage.
In June, Team GB is gearing up to compete in France at the Base Nautique de Sciez. However, they need your support to make this journey possible. Your donation will contribute to essential expenses such as flights, accommodation, and the presence of sighted coaches.
These sighted coaches play a crucial role, providing valuable information to the sailors before each race. Their guidance ensures that the teams are prepared and ready to compete at their best.
By supporting Team GB Blind Sailing, you're not just backing a team; you're championing inclusivity in sports and celebrating the remarkable achievements of athletes with visual impairments.
Join us in helping these incredible sailors reach their full potential and represent Great Britain with pride. Every contribution makes a difference and brings us one step closer to the podium.
Thank you for your generosity and support! Together, we can make their journey to France a reality.
