About the World Sailing Inclusion Championships
The vision for the World Sailing Inclusion Championships is to create a truly global, high-performance event that places sailors with a disability at its core.
It is designed to celebrate ability over limitation, providing an elite racing platform where sailors who classify as Para, and those that are a part of our wider Para Inclusive community can compete with purpose, visibility, and equity.
By integrating inclusive formats and equipment, the Championships aim to break down barriers, challenge perceptions, and set a new standard for what world-class accessible sport looks like – all while supporting the long-term goal of sailing’s reinstatement in the Paralympic Games.
About Oman
The Sultanate of Oman has made tremendous progress developing the sport of sailing over the last 16 years.
Perched on the southeast coast of the Arabian Peninsula, the Sultanate of Oman’s stark beauty and vastly contrasting landscapes have enchanted growing numbers of tourists each year. With its magnificent desert, secret oases and breath-taking mountain ranges, Oman is an alluring destination. A tropical underwater paradise lies beneath the turquoise sea, caressing the white sandy beaches that adorn the country’s stunning 3,165 km coastline.
Alongside this natural wealth is Oman’s rich culture, which blends with modern infrastructure and historical features that span over 7,000 years. Grand forts, exquisite palaces and mystical souqs are sights to behold in the capital, Muscat. A visit to Oman makes you feel right at home from the time you arrive, until the moment you leave. The Sultanate is full of opportunities for adventure, including fascinating tours with an Arabian flavour.
