Endless possibilities under sea

Article Abstract:

People with spinal-cord injuries or other disabilities can discover freedom on water, though there are many perceived barriers to adaptive sailing, the worst is obscurity and people have to know about it and its potential for rehabilitation. An accessible sailing program can be started for disabled people with a small fleet of boats adapted for the disabilities and a few dedicated instructors and volunteers, and a few of the popular race boats include the Sonar, and the Martin 16.
