Allow for full and equal participation for all within each category of blindness as designated by the International Blind Sports Association ratings. Provide opportunity for all Blind and Vision Impaired sailors to develop their full potential in their chosen aspects of sailing. Provide a set of rules which could be adopted by ISAF and IFDS for the conduct of sailing competition for Blind and Vision Impaired sailors under the auspices of Blind Sailing International in World, International and Regional events. 1 World Events are those competitions which qualify as such under the ISAF regulations. International Events are events which involve 3 or more separate countries participating.
Regional Events are events which are restricted to invitations from a specified region.
National Events are events held within a country for that country's members. Organisers of such events may choose not to conduct the competition strictly within the dictates of these rules but it is strongly recommended that they adhere to rigid safety requirements, as well as working in close cooperation with the country's National Yachting Authority. National Events may include by invitation competitors from other countries.
