A French startup is making waves in pursuit of a goal to make sailing more inclusive by making it more like playing a video game.
Imagine joysticks that allow differently abled people to set sail and control a boat. Imagine boats built from more ecologically responsible materials. Imagine integrating data to help navigate sailboats, yachts and motorboats more safely – even autonomously – depending on the weather, tide and sea depth. Imagine automatic hydrofoil systems that stabilize watercraft in real time. This is a snapshot of Splashelec’s vision for making sailing more accessible and creating a more inclusive world.
