Week 7: Final CRI Visit

Week 7: Final CRI Visit

We ordered super dense, flexible, waterproof, durable foam that would do better than the black foam. We cut out an oblong shape with narrow ends so that the sling would have clear mapping. The narrow ends would velcro together around the boat so that the wider portion of the foam would be at the bottom of the boat, so that you can position your shoulder under it and lift the boat with your shoulder. We cut the straps extra long so that it was easier to grab while hanging. The finished product:

Our final visit to CRI was very insightful. Joanna was not there to test it out but the coaches were and they responded positively to it.

Our next step is to test our sling in water to see how it performs when wet and attached to the boat.
