I am capable of doing the needed ergonomics analysis corresponding to designing the product. I feel the background on the subject that I have acquired in the last 10 weeks will aid the progress of the project. Page 1 of 13 Project Readiness Package Rev 7/22/11 PROJECT OVERVIEW: Last year a team of engineers from RIT worked with Keith Burhan and Richard Ramos to incorporate Keith’s design for a swiveling captain’s chair into Richard’s boat. Richard is a C 4-5 quadriplegic so the design incorporated a chair that could hold him securely and a bicycle adaptation for his hands so that he could steer the boat from the chair. The person crewing with Richard responsible for trimming the Jib sail, Cindy Walker, has limited use of their legs. Team Paradise, a disabled sailing club, has implemented a Jib transfer bench for paraplegics in one of their sail boats. They have a design for a marine plywood and carbon fiber system capable of providing the support needed to accommodate a paraplegic athlete. This design has potential to be reengineered so that it’s easier to manufacture and less costly. Peter Goldman has shown an interest in implementing a Jib transfer bench such as this in a boat for his sailing club as well. Both boats considered for implementation of this transfer bench are Sonars. To trim the jib sail they need to get from the left to the right side of the boat. Because the athletes have limited to no leg or core strength they need to use their arms to move themselves. The distance between the seats on either side of the boat is too great to span without considerable arm strength, so currently the person must travel from one seat, to the floor, and back up onto the other seat. This devise should make it easier for the athletes to get from one side to the other. By easier I mean it should take less force and less time to make the transition. Primary boat of interest: Sonar Page 2 of 13 Project Readiness Package Rev 7/22/11 DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Customer Needs and Objectives: (1=highest priority) Customer Importance Description Need # Make it easier (require less force) for the jib trimmer to get from port to CN1 1 starboard Make it take less time for the jib trimmer to get from port to starboard given CN2 2 they have no use of their legs and limited to no core strength CN3 1 light weight CN4 3 eliminate the need for the person to make contact with the "floor" of the boat CN5 1 Provide access to jib lines CN6 2 Mechanical solution CN7 1 easy to use CN8 1 provide support for legs and core CN9 1 Easy to install CN10 1 Adjustable to different boats CN11 1 Move between port and starboard CN12 1 Corrosion resistant Functional Decomposition: operate jib lines at points A and B on boat X Move person Accomodate Hold bench Adjust system to Provide support between points User stationary boat x to person A and B maintain release at point accept person position at point support legs A A maintain release at point secure person position at point support core B B release person Page 3 of 13 Project Readiness Package Rev 7/22/11 Specifications Page 4 of 13 Project Readiness Package Rev 7/22/11 Constraints: - Can not hinder the ability of the sailor to operate the Jib lines due to positioning or introduction of barriers. - Must remain within budget - Minimize support components requiring alteration of the boat itself STUDENT STAFFING: Skills Checklist: Appendix (PRP): Skills Checklist Project Name (tentative): Jib Transfer Bench Nicholas J Davis Checklist Completed by (name): For each discipline, indicate which skills or knowledge will be needed by students working on the associated project, and rank the skills in order of importance (1=highest priority).

Resource Category Description Available? Faculty Environment Equipment Machining equipment Materials Composite materials Other Prepared by: Nicholas J Davis Date: Page 7 of 13 Project Readiness Package Rev 7/22/11 Potential Concepts: Have the chair on a monorail track to transfer it from one side to the other. The Monorail would span the gap between the benches on either side of the sonar. Incorporate a pivot point underneath the seat so that it can swivel 180 degrees to maintain the correct orientation on either side of boat. Use a pulley system with v cleats to move the chair from side to side and lock it into position respectively. A half-moon shaped rail could be incorporated rather than a straight rail if it provided better positioning of the operator. Magnus Liljedahl from Team Paradise has a swiveling lazy Susan design. This puts the point of rotation in the center of the floor. There is a lever arm that goes out from the lazy susan at an angle to avoid contact with the bench seats in the boat. The lever arm is designed to put the seat on, therefore it holds the weight of the person and the seat. There is molded leg support on top of the lazy susan, infront of the lever arm. Straps hold the persons legs in place. Both the seat attached, and the leg support, are made of molded carbon fiber. A harness can be incorporated in the seat to provide additional core support. Original design would need modification for incorporation in boats other than a Sonar.

Additional material properties such as the strength to weight ratio will need to be considered in designing the chair.

  • 2019 One Design Classes and Sailor Survey
    2019 One Design Classes and Sailor Survey [email protected] One Design Classes and Sailor Survey One Design sailing is a critical and fundamental part of our sport. In late October 2019, US Sailing put together a survey for One Design class associations and sailors to see how we can better serve this important constituency. The survey was sent via email, as a link placed on our website and through other USSA Social media channels. The survey was sent to our US Sailing members, class associations and organizations, and made available to any constituent that noted One-Design sailing in their profile. Some interesting observations: • Answers are based on respondents’ perception of or actual experience with US Sailing. • 623 unique comments were received from survey respondents and grouped into “Response Types” for sorting purposes • When reviewing data, please note that “OTHER” Comments are as equally important as those called out in a specific area, like Insurance, Administration, etc. • The majority of respondents are currently or have been members of US Sailing for more than 5 years, and many sail in multiple One-Design classes • About 1/5 of the OD respondents serve(d) as an officer of their primary OD class; 80% were owner/drivers of their primary OD class; and more than 60% were members of their primary OD class association. • Respondents to the survey were most highly concentrated on the East and West coasts, followed by the Mid- West and Texas – though we did have representation from 42 states, plus Puerto Rico and Canada. • Most respondents were male.

  • Lake Michigan Surf Newsletter the E-Publication of the Lake Michigan Sail Racing Federation
    Lake Michigan Sail Racing Federation December 2012 Issue 12 Lake Michigan SuRF Newsletter LMSRF IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE ... A NEW WEB SITE by Glenn T. McCarthy, Commodore www.lmsrf.org LMSRF's web page for the past ten years was the organization's second generation web site and had grown very long in the tooth. Chuck Goes, whom some of you know from Belmont Yacht Club or from his Race Committee work, volunteered to help LMSRF build a new web site. Chuck’s day job is web hosting and design, along with computer consulting, at his company, Digital Interplay (contact Chuck at [email protected] or at 773.743.9843 if you are in need of help for your own business). We chose the platform of Joomla!, as this web site software allows our volunteers to make changes anywhere, anytime, without needing anything more than an internet connection. Users don’t need any special software to make updates and changes. The goals of the new web site are simple, to make it easier to navigate (check), make it easier to maintain by assigning committee chairs the pages they are responsible for maintaining (check, check), add a bit of fun with links to Maritime Museums and Lighthouses (check), but most importantly to make it easier for you to get what you need (big check). Examples of this last one are that you will find applications for Grants-In-Aid and the Hall of Fame on the web site, along with the requirements of both programs. With over 60 pages of information, we hope you find it informative, helpful and will help your club and/or foster your own sailing.
