B&G is supporting disabled sailor and adventurer Natasha Lambert in her latest challenge, the ARC 2020.<\/p>\n
Natasha began sailing at age nine, and despite being born with quadriplegic cerebral palsy has since been enduring various challenges and pushing herself to the limit and raise money for charity.<\/p>\n
Her Bavaria Nautitech Open 46 \u2013 Blown Away \u2013 is fitted with a full B&G system including Zeus3, Triton\u00b2 instrument displays, NAC3 autopilot computer, H90 radio with AIS and H50 handheld radio.<\/p>\n
Natasha\u2019s father, Gary, has developed a sip and puff control system, which is integrated with the B&G system on board, allowing Natasha to control the boat herself.<\/p>\n
The first part of Natasha\u2019s latest adventure was getting Blown Away from the UK to Gran Canaria, ready for the start of the event.<\/p>\n
\u201cHer system is integrated into the autopilot, so when she needs to control the sheets, she operates her tongue switch, which both changes the function of the straw from helm to sheets, and activates the autopilot,\u201d said Amanda Lambert, Natasha\u2019s mum. \u201cThis helps her to maintain her course whilst she adjusts the sheets, and everything worked impeccably.\u201d<\/p>\n
The ARC begins on November 22.<\/p>\n
