Sailing by 'breath control'
Gary Lambert from southern England has invented a device designed to enable his daughter Natasha to go sailing using ‘sip and puff’ controls.

Using this invention, Natasha has been able to sail the English Channel and she’s now developing ambitious plans to tackle longer sailing trips.
