Warrior Sailing Cup
The Warrior Sailing Cup will offer an opportunity for Veteran sailors to race against other Veteran sailors from around the globe as a way to raise awareness of the sport and to create a lasting legacy program in Canada.
In partnership with international sailing programs, we aim to develop a unique new competition, hosting a Warrior Sailing Cup in Canada, inviting at least three nations to participate. The Warrior Sailing Cup will offer an opportunity for Veteran sailors to race against other Veteran sailors from around the globe as a way to raise awareness of the sport and to create a lasting legacy program in Canada. This also will provide an opportunity for Canadians to participate and engage with Veterans on their journeys of recovery. The aim of the Cup is to be able to grow interest in adaptive sailing with the military community across Canada.
In partnership with the Royal Canadian Yacht Club, this years’ event will be in coordination with their forthcoming Canada’s Cup racing series taking place on Lake Ontario during 2-4 September 2022. This will be the inaugural ‘Warrior Sailing Cup’ and our hope would be to leverage the opportunity to promote the wider use of sailing across Canada (and beyond) in the recovery pathway for ill and injured Veterans. Members from the RCYC will lead on the event logistics and provide all boats.
