Cerveira, F., Fonseca, N. e Sutherland, L.S. (2012), “Considering disabled people in sailing yacht design”, Maritime Engineering and Technology, Guedes Soares et al. (Eds),Taylor & Francis Group, London, pp. 053-061
The paper discusses the design requirements for development of sailing yachts adapted to disabled people. A significant percentage of the population has some kind of limitation, either in terms of mobility, sensorial, or intellectual capabilities. In general this prevents the practice of sailing because the boats and yachts are not adapted to deal with these limitations. This paper starts by identifying and categorizing the disabilities and the consequences on the sailing activity. Then a list of design requirements is established and a procedure is recommended to include these requirements into the design of a sailing yacht. Finally, the development of the layout design for a 10m sailing yacht for disabled sailors is presented as an illustrative example.
