Synopsis
As madcap enterprises go, this is up there. A bunch of guys who are variously blind, limbless, paraplegic and crippled take part in the world’s toughest ocean race, the Sydney to Hobart. Crashing waves. Lashing rain. Gale-force winds. The number one rule in the Sydney to Hobart’s cruel seas is one hand for the boat and one hand for you. But what do you do if you don’t have two hands? Find out in disAble-bodied Sailors, a four part series with a unique take on what it is to be disabled in Australia today.
