Preparing for the Miami Olympic Classes regatta
Welcome to Team Paradise Sailing's website! Please click on Mag Blog for our latest activity update.
Sailing in Miami and Biscayne Bay is arguably the nicest venue to sail, not only South Florida, but in the world. We are located at the most perfect location in Coconut Grove and can navigate in a straight line from our docks through the Airplane Channel and on into Biscayne Bay. We are Team Paradise Sailing and our name makes perfect sense!
Team Paradise Sailing's core mission is to support and promote disabled sailing. We provide Paralympic sailing equipment and coaching support to disabled and blind athletes from around the globe. Whether a novice or a champion, we can make the difference for you to reach your goals. Teams that we worked with won all three gold medals at the 2008 Paralympic Games.
Sailing must surely be one of the very few sports where a physical disabled individual can compete against abled. It is for the most part a mental sport and boats can't tell what your range of motion is.
In order to support our Mission Statement, Team Paradise Sailing has expanded on its Sailing Academy to include a Sailing School & Charter Program. It is a partnership with Shake-A-Leg Miami. We offer a variety of sailing classes from beginner to advanced. No prior skills are required. We are open to the general public, disabled or not.
Team Paradise Sailing Certification Course qualifies individuals to enter our Charter Program and take advantage of very reasonable charter rates for our fleet of Sonar and 2.4mR sail boats.
