Mobility Cup, Canada's annual international regatta for
sailors with disabilities, will be in Montreal next year.
The AbleSail Network (ASN) board unanimously voted at its
annual general meeting – held Monday, Aug. 27, 2007 in Halifax –
to accept AQVA Montreal's bid to host the event.
According to that submission, the event will be held at
Pointe Claire Yacht Club, between Monday, Aug. 25 and Friday, Aug. 29, 2008.
This will include one training day and four days of racing.
The goal is to have a fleet of 20-25 Martin 16s, allowing
40-50 sailors to take part in Gold and Silver fleets. Venues have already
been lined up to provide accessible accommodation.
Longtime volunteer Paula Stone will be regatta chairperson.
