Tom Hughes, paralyzed in a rugby accident, is circumnavigating the globe solo-capable in a catamaran built for his wheelchair.
Built in 2002 for Mike Browne, now sailing free for wheelchair users out of Shake-A-Leg Miami — and a real lesson in the limits of designing for one person.

Built for first-time boat owners Paul and Pauline Scholey — jet drives, joystick controls, and a flybridge lift.

Built by Multimarine for a family of three children with different needs, who chose her by unanimous vote.
