US Blind Sailing Association: Programs

 Cruising allows people of all ages who are blind or have low vision to learn sailing at their own pace with the support of a sighted guide. 

 Racing gives people of all ages who are blind or have low vision the opportunity to learn sailboat racing, fine-tune their skills, travel to regattas, and compete with the support of a sighted guide—no experience necessary. 

 Solo sailing allows blind and low vision individuals to enhance their sailing skills by navigating a boat alone, while a sighted guide provides support from another boat. Basic sailing skills are required. 

 Youth camps are week-long programs for blind and low vision youth, where they have fun, learn to sail, and make new friends in a supportive and exciting environment. 

 Racing gives blind and low vision sailors of all ages the chance to learn, compete, and travel to regattas both domestically and internationally with a sighted guide. We also host local and international fleet and match racing events, and you can start racing in your first year if you want! 

 We will host fleet and match racing clinics and travel to established clinics, providing opportunities for blind and low vision sailors to learn, train, and refine their racing skills.
