About the Sonar – The Sonar is a 23-foot one-design keelboat that showcased at the 1996 Paralympic Games, where the sport was a demonstration event. The Sonar has been the three-person keelboat at every subsequent Paralympics. In para sailing mode it is sailed by a crew of three, without a spinnaker, using a whisker pole with the jib. The Sonar is well-suited for sailing for people with disabilities because of its large open cockpit, making adaptations relatively easy.
