|---|---|---|
| Open Single-Person Keelboat | 2.4mR | All sailors are required to have a minimal disability or a higher level of disability as defined in the FCS 2008-12. |
| Two-Person Keelboat | SKUD 18 | Crew shall include a female with disability and one severely disabled sailor with a 1-2 point classification. |
