2021 ICF Paracanoe World Cup 1

It has become very difficult to travel with boats on airlines, particularly when travelling as a team with multiple boats. All athletes selected to a British Team for competitions outside of mainland Europe may be required to have a split boat (a boat designed to un-bolt into 2 smaller units that meet maximum airline luggage specs). This will be particularly important for athletes seeking selection to a GBR Junior & U23 World Championship Team in Brazil in May 2019 as there is insufficient time between selection and the race to order a split boat.

Selection to a Great Britain Team is to specific identified races in accordance with the prevailing selection policy. Selected paddlers who are not funded through a British Canoeing UK Lottery funded Programme may apply in writing to the athlete’s Home Nation representative for consideration of support.

Applicants for such support are reminded that these funds are limited and securing other funding will almost certainly be necessary and that an athlete contribution will be required.
