The 2014 IFDS World Championships in Halifax, Canada acted as the first qualification regatta for the Rio 2016 Paralympic Sailing Competition.

The Qualification System for the Rio 2016 Paralympic Sailing Competition has been released.

In September 2012 the British Paralympic Association (BPA) submitted an appeal to the Court of Arbitration of Sport (CAS) against a series of decisions made by the International Jury at the Paralympic Sailing Competition during the three-person keelboat event.

No racing was possible on the final day of sailing at the London 2012 Paralympic Sailing Competition meaning that the results from the day prior confirmed the medals.

Sailors may be left frustrated on the final day of the Paralympic Sailing Competition with just a 10% chance of a light sea breeze blowing for at least two hours.

Helena Lucas (GBR) guaranteed herself a spot on the 2.4mR podium at the London 2012 Paralympic Sailing competition with one race to go.

The Netherlands Udo Hessels, Marcel van de Veen and Mischa Rossen wrapped up gold with a day to spare in the Sonar after another consistent day that saw three races sailed on Portland Harbour.

Australia's Dan Fitzgibbon and Liesl Tesch won SKUD18 gold on the penultimate day of racing at the Paralympic Sailing Competition with a race to spare.

It will be a busy day of Sonar racing today at the Paralympic Sailing Competition with three races scheduled following the loss of Race 8 on 4 August.

Dan Fitzgibbon and Liesl Tesch (AUS) have put a gap of four points between them and Jen French and Jp Creignou (USA) and Alex Rickham and Niki Birrell (GBR) with three SKUD18 races remaining at the Paralympic Sailing Competition.
