Hi everyone, I am new to the site. I am a retired Merchant Seamen. My highest rank was bosun. I am now disabled getting back into the sailing world . I could use advise on sailing with a handy cap. Hopefully from some that are mobility impaired as I. Thanks and a real pleasure to meet you all.....bosun1967.
Welcome aboard, bosun. What size boats will you be sailing. Our local community boating association in Boston has rhodes 19's rigged for sailors with disabilities.
Welcome aboard. I sailed with a paraplegic, he lived aboard his cape dory 30 ketch. I myself am recovering from a brain surgery that has caused some glitches. My balance was very bad one year ago, but now it is really good.( I live aboard) You might find that the boat makes for some great PT😀. Best advice, but hard to follow~ Take it slow.
Glad you are here. Happy sailing.
