What backs it

The Monte Real Yacht Club in Baiona, Spain, founded its Adapted Sailing School in 2012 to provide free, specialized sailing lessons and custom-built, accessible boats for people with physical, mental, sensory or intellectual disabilities, now graduating dozens of participants annually with certificates; one participant, César Maquieira, who uses a wheelchair due to degenerative muscle disease, has been attending classes since 2016.

Worth noting

The article profiles one program in Spain; adapted sailing opportunities exist globally but access and resources vary widely by location.
