César's boat doesn't care about wheelchair ramps — the waves just say hop in.
With Adapted Sailing, the Sea Is for Everyone
César Maquieira, 51, developed a degenerative muscle disease as an adult and now uses a wheelchair. In 2016 he enrolled at the Monte Real Yacht Club in Baiona, Spain, whose Adapted Sailing School has offered free, specialized lessons and custom-built accessible boats since 2012. Maquieira, who has since graduated, returns every two weeks to sail. Similar programs worldwide are opening the sea to people with reduced mobility.
