The KMAC Foundation’s Accessible Sailing fleet will host volunteer training sessions on Sept. 6 and Sept. 20 from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Coronado Yacht Club at 1631 Strand Way.

The KMAC Foundation for Accessible Sailing in Coronado uses specially adapted sailboats and provides therapeutic, recreational and other sailing opportunities for people with disabilities to enhance their mobility, well-being and independence.

Jamie McArthur, the founder of the KMAC Foundation, said the U.S. Para Sailing Championship follows the training. The championship is planned for Sept. 26-28 at the Coronado Yacht Club.

“It’s a big team effort and volunteers are the key to everything,” said McArthur. “Everybody is welcome. … Every volunteer has a skill.”
