    What Is the Mobility Cup?

    Mobility Cup

    The Mobility Cup is Canada’s largest annual regatta for sailors with disabilities, welcoming athletes from across Canada and around the world.
    Its guiding belief: Anyone can sail.

    Founded in Vancouver by accessibility advocate Sam Sullivan, the event showcases inclusion, community, and the power of adaptive sport. Each year, sailors compete in Martin 16 adaptive sailboats equipped with sip-and-puff, joystick, and custom supports made possible by volunteers and national partners.

    2026: Returning to Where It All Began


    The 35th-anniversary regatta returns to the city where the event first set sail. Vancouver’s adaptive sailing community, volunteers, and long-standing partners will come together to make this a landmark year.

    What to Expect in 2026:

    • More than 100 volunteers supporting on-water and land operations
    • Adaptive fleet races for both novice and experienced sailors
    • Community celebrations at Royal Vancouver Yacht Club (RVYC)
    • A national spotlight on inclusion, access, and adaptive sport
    • A strengthened legacy of year-round opportunities for participants with disabilities
