Team 09: Dragon Boat Paddle Assist
Abstract
We designed a race paddle for one-armed use by Gary, a local veteran. Gary enjoys dragon boat racing, but his current shoulder-mounted paddle hurts, limits motion and fails race specifications. We made a leg-mounted paddle that is comfortable, easier to use and enables powerful paddling with better form. It also meets international racing specifications so Gary can compete with his team worldwide.
