Sailing at the 2016 Summer Paralympics^[1] in Rio de Janeiro took place between 12 and 17 September 2016 in Marina da Glória, Copacabana. 80 competitors, 11 of which were female, competed in three keelboat classes. Three sailing events will be held. All were mixed events, meaning that men and women can compete together.^[2]

Classification

International disability classification in sailing is done by a committee, which gives each competitor a number score with lower numbers corresponding to more severe disability. Sailors are classified under the IFDS Functional Classification System. To take part in Paralympic sailing, an athlete must have a score of 7 or less.

Event	Boat	Classifications
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.
Open Three-Person Keelboat	Sonar	The total Sonar crew points shall not exceed 14 points.

Qualification

There are three main routes of qualification. The 2014 IFDS Sailing World Championships provide the first opportunity, gaining places for just over half of the quota places. The 2015 Combined World Championships provide the bulk of the remaining places, while 6 places are reserved for the host country. Each National Paralympic Committee may enter a maximum of one boat per event.
