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.
Project Description
Need # Importance DescriptionCN1 1 Designed to fit specifically in SONAR sailboatsCN2 1 Safe system to operate for long periodsCN3 1 System controls rudderCN4 1 Portable, non-permanent installation on boatCN5 1 Environmentally resistant to wearCN6 1 Shippable and fits on one paletteCN7 1 Emergency override for rudder controlCN8 1 Weight of system is primarily over the keelCN9 1 Crank Geometry (length of crank fits shoulder width)
