Winds of Change: Sailing and Technology to Build a Legacy Beyond Blindness

On January 2018, while serving as an Officer on a 300-meter carrier, 500 miles off the Hawaiian Coast, an extinguisher exploded in my face, resulting in the complete loss of my sight. I was 31 years old. Some years later, with the invaluable collaboration of family, friends and key entities, I sailed again. And I founded Yes We Sail, a project to make nautical experiences accessible to blind individuals. Our tech solution and protocol aim to empower people with visual disabilities and build a legacy beyond blindness.
