International Inclusive Keelboat Championship 2024

Sailed on a fleet of RS21 charter boats, the International Inclusive Keelboat Championship 2024 will run from 30 September to 3 October and be hosted by Rutland Sailing Club on the Southern shore of the largest reservoir in England, Rutland Water.

Inclusion sailing is defined as increasing opportunities for participation in international-level sailing events; specifically for disabled sailors whose disability does not meet the para classification 'Minimal Disability' (MD) criteria. For the International Championship, teams of four to five sailors will be competing in RS21s and a minimum of two sailors from each team are able to self-certify that they are a sailor with a disability that impacts their day-to-day life.

The Inclusion Championships will take place at the same time as the 2024 RS Venture Connect Class World Championship, which features a World Sailing sanctioned 'Para' category. This combined Worlds and International event which features classifications so that virtually any sailor can compete makes this the first of its kind which is a truly inclusive and unified event.
