Project Description • Overview • The goal of this project is to re-design, build, and test a portable, detachable seating system that will allow disabled users to participate in IFDS competitive sailing. The system must utilize the user’s rotational arm motion to steer the boat’s rudder and allow adjustment of the user’s position by rotating along a bearing mounted track for leverage and view during sailing scenarios. The team must reduce excess weight, increase functionality, and adapt specifically for a C 4-5 quadriplegic user. MSD - P12031
