US World Cup Blind Sailor Mark Bos
Interview at Jo’s Nautical in Hull, MA on Friday, August 26, 2016

Alan Hubbard interviews Mark Bos in an informal interview at Jo's Nautical to discuss his sailing background and blind competition.

In Sheboygan, WI, from September 19 through the 25 of 2016, the 2016 ISAF Blind Match Racing World Championships will take place on Wisconsin’s Lake Michigan shore. The US Sailing Center of Sheboygan and World Sailing will host the event. Sailors in all three vision classification categories, B1, B2 and B3, will compete in one single class. The racing will use Sail Sheboygan’s 3-person Sonar class boats with the Homerus audible racing system. In support of the event, NTI is one of the main sponsors for the United States team in the 2016 World Sailing Blind Match Racing World Championship.

It is the mission of the US Sailing Center of Sheboygan to develop abilities in sailing and seamanship in individuals to the extent of their capacity. The Center believes that regardless of age, income, ability, or disability, those who come to understand the fundamentals of sail trim, teamwork, and seamanship understand more about themselves, their fellows, and their world.

The Blind Match Racing World will be held in correlation with the Women's (able-bodied) Match Race World Championship. These events include some of the world's top sailors who are visually impaired and some of the world’s greatest female sailors.
