[Sportsandrec] Blind Sailing Classification

[Kris Scheppe]

Gaston,

In sailing we use the B1, B2, and B3 classifications. We have two types 
of racing fleet and match. In fleet racing we have different races for 
different classifications. In match racing all classification sail 
together. Each boat has a crew of 3 and can have 6 points per boat where 
B1 = 1 point, B2 = 2 points and B3 = 3 points.

In fleet racing it is a crew of four. Two blind and two sighted. Match 
racing is a crew of 3 blind and we sail around the course by listening 
to acoustic buoys that make different sounds.

Thanks,
Kris
