Paralympic Sailing with Sonar and 2.4mR Sail Boats (large print)

Synopsis

This page shows two images: A Sonar class boat with a crew of three on the left of the page, and a 2.4mR boat on the right with its single sailor. The crew of the Sonar boat are of mixed levels of disability. A person racing in a 2.4mR may have a disability ranging from minimal to very severe. Each image has a dashed line image border. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. Sonar with a crew of three (left). The top of the mast (the upright pole that supports the sails) is in the top centre of the image. It has the curved, triangular mainsail attached to it at the top left. Further down the mast, the foresail (jib) is attached on the right. All the sails continue down the page. The foresail and the mainsail have horizontal lines going across them. These represent battens: thin strips of stiff material to reinforce the sails and stop them fluttering. The mainsail to the left is attached to a horizontal pole called a boom. There are three crew members. At the far left is a person sitting in the stern (back) of the boat, facing to the left with only the top half her body visible. To the right of her is a sailor standing with his back facing you. His lower legs are hidden by the side of the boat. He has one arm raised to the left; the other arm is amputated below the elbow. Right from him there is a sailor sitting facing right with her arms stretched out to the right. Down from the sailors is the hull (body) of the boat. At the bottom of the hull is the keel in the middle and the rudder to the left. 2.4mR with single sailor (right). This image shows the 2.4mR and its sailor from the side, facing left. Part of the hull is in cut-away view to show the sailor inside the boat. The top of the mast is in the centre of the image. It has the curved, triangular mainsail attached to it at the top right. Further down the mast, the foresail is attached on the left. All the sails continue down the page. They have horizontal lines going across them representing battens. The mainsail to the right is attached to a horizontal pole at the bottom called a boom. Down the page from the sails is the boat's hull. The bow is on the left and the stern on the right. In the image, the central section of the hull has been cut away to reveal the sailor seen from the side. He is sitting facing left with one arm and one leg stretched out to the left. Further down the page from the sailor is the boat's keel, and to the right of this, the rudder.
