Hilary's boat, a 6m keelboat, Artemis 20, has been completely adapted, including the Raymarine e9 multifunction display.
She can control everything on board by operating three straws. If Hilary sips the tiller straw, the tiller drive turns the boat starboard and a puff turns the boat to port. The second straw acts as a menu switch, allowing the choice of which motor to operate or whether to use autopilot. The third straw activates whichever menu item has been chosen.
In addition to these three straws, Hilary can now use her smart phone with the help of the Raymarine Apps, through which she can control and operate her e9 multifunction display; looking at data from all her instruments, as well as being able to perform simple functions like zooming in and out and identifying objects on the chart.
