- This past summer I began teaching a 14 year old boy who was paralyzed from
- the waist down how to sail aboard a Freedom 21? I believe it was either a
- 21 or a 22. Anyhow, the boat was specially modified to accomodate people
- who face this challenge. I am very interested in talking to anyone who has
- ever sailed these as I am looking for new idea for next summer. I believe
- that there is a fleet in Rhode Island. If you know of anything about this
- boat, please respond to eraffini@oyster.smcm.edu
- Thanks alot
- Eric
