After a life-changing accident left him a quadriplegic, former Paralympian Clifford Clark didn’t slow down, instead, he set his sights on the sea. Starting with Sailability in Cairns and now proudly helming a custom-modified Lagoon 42, Cliff has transformed what was once a dream into an extraordinary reality.
With support from TMG Yachts, Cliff tailored the Lagoon 42 to suit his needs, making it one of the only 42-footers that could accommodate a wheelchair across the entire deck, down each side, and into the saloon. From fitted lifts to electric winches and accessible rigging, every detail of the boat has been adjusted to empower his independence on the water.
“The 42 was the only catamaran that had enough space for me to wheel around the entire deck and through the galley. Being out on the water gives me access to places I’ve never seen before. It’s total freedom. I can’t wait to cruise the Whitsundays with my family, then sail up to Cairns and reunite with my Sailability mates. This boat has changed my life.”
