  1. Assistive Sail Raising Device for Adapted Sailing Brenda Lisitano Design Project Management Fall 2012

  2. Goal • Enable sailors with disabilities who have limited strength or coordination to act as the main trimmer and participate in the joy of sailing, through the creation of an adapted sailing device. https://edge.rit.edu/edge/P12031/public/Richard%20Sailing2.JPG

  3. Project Description Create a device to operate on the mainsail halyard lines to raise and lower the primary sail of a sailboat Primary Benchmark Servomotor Powered Spooling System- Electromechanical Halyard Winch http://www.mauriprosailing.com/Harken-Winches-Electric-40-Horizontal/HARBK402STEBBB12H.html

  4. Functional Decomposition

  5. House of Quality

  6. Scope • With a 5 person team, students should design and build a working prototype that meets the specifications within the constraints. • Ideal Team- 2 Electrical Engineers 2 Mechanical Engineers 1 Industrial Engineer

  7. Feasibility • Financial – all of the major components have been benchmarked for cost. Design is possible with the requested budget. • Time- Project Scoped to allow team to complete within Senior Design 1 & 2 especially if run on semesters. • Skill Constraints- Design feasible for team with requested skill set, electromechanical device requires some background in Controls.
