ANDREW CASSELL FOUNDATION

The Andrew Cassell Foundation supports individuals with physical disabilities, mental health conditions or long term illness to take part in yacht racing and cruising at the highest level. The Foundation works to achieve the integration of sailors with disabilities with able bodied sailors... The foundation was established by Andy Cassell with a group of CCYC members when he returned from the Atlanta Paralympics in 1996, having won a Gold Medal for sailing. Prior to the Paralympics, Andy had spent a lifetime competing in able-bodied fleets before leading the first GB Paralympic sailing team and he was determined to give something back to a sport that he loved and from which he had gained so much.
