sailing for people with a disability

[Warwick]

I have just started sailing with a organization.  They cater for all disabilities from quadripelics to PSTD, autism.

I have been learning with Mackenzie who has cerebral palsy, she uses a foot control for the boat she uses.  They also have a chin control arrangement and a sip and puff option available as well.

I gather that the foot control is like a computer joy stick.  The sip  and puff is controlled by sucking or blowing on a control unit.

Sailibility is an international organization with links to the special Olympics.
