"Behind every successful sailor is a network of families, volunteers, and supporters who give their time, energy, and heart to help these athletes grow. The commitment shown by our students, the unwavering encouragement from their families, and the tireless efforts of our volunteers, along with the fantastic support of DOSC, is what make moments like this possible."

"This accomplishment is more than a competitive achievement, it's a celebration of inclusion, teamwork, and the belief that sailing is for everyone. We look forward to representing our community on the world stage with pride."

The Championships bring together sailors from around the world to celebrate accessibility, competition, and the shared goal of making sailing a sport truly open to all.
