The Paris Paralympics are underway, but you won't see sailing for the second Games in a row. Following Rio 2016, sailing was removed from the Paralympics because of a drop in global participation numbers. Our next opportunity for reinstatement is Brisbane 2032, and World Sailing has a plan to get it back. Read below for a history on Paralympic sailing, when and why we left, what's ahead to get back on the program "down under" 🇦🇺 and what YOU can do to help!

Top scenes from Olympic sailing’s opening day in Marseille 🇫🇷 The 49erFX and 49er fleets logged 3 races each, and iQFOiLs unfortunately had a floater and headed back to shore. Team Roble/Shea is currently in 8th overall in the FX, and team Barrows/Henken sits in 12th going into day two. Stay tuned for updated broadcast schedules! The camera crews have a bit of shuffling here on the ground adjusting to a light wind forecast. We’ll keep you updated with what we know so you can follow your Team USA 🇺🇸 📸 @sailingenergy #Paris2024Sailing #Sailing #Paris2024 #Olympic #MensWindsurfing #WomensWindsurfing #MensSkiff #WomensSkiff #TeamUSA #OneForAll

Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸 22 days until the Opening Ceremony of Paris 2024 DID YOU KNOW: Of the 10 sailing disciplines at the Olympic Games, only 4 have a third sail - the "spinnaker" - that deploys during certain parts of the race. For the 49er, 49erFX, Nacra 17, and Mixed 470, the only time athletes are granted spinnakers with flags is when they're representing their country at an Olympic Games. Outside of the Olympics, these sails are a single color or have minimal markings. The first hoist is a special experience in an athlete's Olympic journey and is a reminder of the nation backing them as they represent the United States on the world stage. From Hans Henken, Paris 2024 49er: "Seeing that American flag spinnaker in Marseille was an amazing experience. I sailed with it once before as a training partner for Thomas Barrows and Joe Morris in Rio [USA 2016 49er team] and I remember wanting to have that experience again. It's the feeling of all the hard work paying off. Seeing the Olympic kite is that special part of the process that comes during the final parts of the journey and it feels amazing. There's so much pride for what we've accomplished up to that point and motivation for what's right around the corner."
