The VSail-Access is the first sailing simulator available for people with disabilities. The VSail-Access simulator is a variation on the VSail where the cockpit is fitted with a seat. The VSail simulator is a generic sailboat cockpit powered by a pneumatic ram and custom designed software. The sailor sails the simulator around virtual courses displayed on a computer screen in the same way as a real sailboat on water. Electronic sensors provide real time feedback to match the movements of the virtual sailboat displayed on the screen with those of the simulator. Sailors can select wind strength and conditions to suit their ability. Adults with spinal cord injury may take part in this study.
