Blind Sailing Canada currently owns a fleet of 3 Tanzer 22 boats. These are 22-foot keelboats which are very stable and they can be used for either cruising or racing.

To enjoy sailing, blind sailors require no special boats or adaptive equipment. However, boats small enough to provide a responsive helm are recommended. Steering with a tiller rather than a wheel is preferable to improve a blind sailor's ability to "feel" the boat. Equipment such as talking compasses and whistles can be used to provide audio orientation and assure safety. Some blind sailors may also prefer tactile markings.

Blind Sailing International (BSI) Regattas include boats ranging from the 23 foot Sonar to the 36 foot Farr design. BSI prefers to use boats crewed by two blind and two sighted persons. BSAC will also follow this procedure whenever possible.
