Abstract In recent years, a strong attention to the issues of human diversity, social inclusion and equality has developed in the field of yachting. This awareness has led to the creation of sailing boats much more closely-related to Design for Inclusion theories, Universal Design (UD) and Design for All (DfA) in particular. In this paper, we present a final result of a Ph.D. research. The purpose of this study was to define the design guidelines for small sailing boats, based on the principles of DfA. To obtain this result, a comprehensive study of the state of the art was conducted, through the analysis of fifty small sailing boats. This study was carried out in two distinct phases. During the first one, all small sailing boats were filed and the characteristics of all case studies were observed. During the second one, comparative analyses between different boats were conducted. Starting from this analysis, we have drawn up design guidelines based on the principles of DfA.
