Andrew "Andy" Cassell is a British Paralympic sailor who won gold at the 1996 Summer Paralympics, where the sport made its Paralympic debut.[1]

Residing in Cowes on the Isle of Wight he had been sailing for decades before the Paralympics and worked for Ratsey and Lapthorne sailmakers sailing in high-profile yachting events. He was one of the early advocates of sailing being included in the Paralympics and in 1996 he founded the Andrew Cassell Foundation which purchased a fleet of sonar keelboats which have been used to introduce thousands of disabled people to sailing. The Foundation is still active 25 years later.[2]
