Boating from Your Wheelchair: Saubadia Etica in Action

By Scott on September 23, 2008 8:11 PM | 0 Comments

While on the road through British Columbia and Washington State last week I was unable to keep up a running travelogue. Sherri Backstrom (Waypoint Yacht Charter Services) took me to visit a custom built fully wheelchair-friendly 47 foot yacht and the shipyard where it was constructed. Soon we will post photos of this and other parts of this tour where we also spoke about the principles of human-centered boat design (Waypoint-Backstrom Principles).

In the meantime, enjoy this video on cruising the Mediterranean with Saubadia Etica:
