Inclusive Sailing Through the PEO Model & Engineering
1. *Person:*
- Diverse sailors, including those with disabilities, have different needs and abilities.
As proposed by professor Darwin we will gp our sailors with physical impairment in three cat.
2. *Environment:*
- Boats like Hansa 303 and Liberty provide safe, accessible features (e.g., stable hulls, easy access).
- Engineers works with occupational therapist , sailing instructors, national classifier to design and adapt the environment (boats " already done with the universal design by the builder", accessory equipment pls refer to the hansa class assn modification list for idea
https://hansaclass.org/technical/equipment-applications/
to fit users with physical impairment e.g amputation , paraplegia, quadriplegia, hemiplegia, Muscular dystrophy, Multiple sclerosis , polio, short limbs, TBI etc
3. *Occupation:* the task in laymen term
- Sailing requires certain physical and cognitive skills; technology and design can adjust the demands.
- The PY system allows sailors of different class to race against each other as if the recent Bart Bash race 2025/9.
- Engineers working with sailing profession helps modify controls, seating, and safety tech to enable everyone to participate.
4. *Engineer’s Role:* it can also apply for therapist, nurse, teacher etc
- Analyze person needs and match with environment & occupation demands with the help of occupational therapist , sailing instructor, national classifer
- Innovate adaptive systems for control, stability, and comfort.
pls refer to hansa class assn list above
- Collaborate with users for feedback to improve designs inclusively.
