Tingley Celebration Set for October 16th

Paul Tingley

Oct 12, 2017

Monday, October 16 will be a very special day as we celebrate one of the greatest Nova Scotia sailors, the one and only Mr. Paul Tingley. Paul has sailed competitively for more than 20 years and has won a world championship and three Paralympic medals. The evening reception at the Maritime Museum will feature a cash bar and hors d’oeuvres. Tickets are $75 each and can be purchased through the Sail NS office or on line here https://sailnovascotia.checklick.com/

Paul Tingley has represented Canada at three Paralympics, particularly in keelboats. A resident of Halifax, he became disabled due to a skiing accident at the age of 24. At the suggestion of a physiotherapist, Paul took up sailing.
